When it comes to sending money from South Africa to Pakistan there are a range of challenges often faced with using traditional banking methods.
Some of these common challenges sending money abroad include:
Wire transfers and physical money checks may leave users open to fraud or theft. You are also at risk of your personal details being used. Physical checks could also get lost or stolen resulting in missing funds for the sender or receiver during the transaction.
Traditional money transfers often take a long time to process, causing delays in the delivery of your funds to your family members in Pakistan. This can be inconvenient, especially during emergency situations or even special occasions and holy festivals.
Transferring money internationally can be quite costly for users when it comes to the transaction fees when sending money home to Pakistan.
Traditional money transfer methods can be inconvenient, as it sometimes requires the sender or receiver to physically visit a bank in order to send or receive the funds.
When dealing with checks or cash, you could put yourself at risk of theft as there is no guarantee of the safety of your money. With Mama Money we offer an added level of protection with security measures in place so you can feel confident that your money will be delivered safely to Pakistan.
Most banking services require you to visit a physical branch in person and wait in line to be seen.
