When it comes to sending money home to loved ones and community members, there are a range of challenges often faced with using traditional banking methods.
Some of these challenges include:
Wire transfers and physical checks may leave you open to fraud. For instance, your personal details can be used or your personal checks can be stolen. Physical checks could also get lost or stolen resulting in missing funds for the sender or receiver.
Traditional money transfers often take long to process, causing delays in the delivery of your funds to your family members. This can be inconvenient, especially during emergency situations or even special occasions such as Christmas and the holy period of Ramadan.
Transferring money internationally can be quite costly when it comes to transaction fees.
Traditional money transfer methods can be inconvenient, as it sometimes requires the sender or receiver to physically visit a bank to make the transfer.
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 is safe.
Most banking services require you to visit a physical branch in person and wait in line to be attended to. The benefit of using Mama Money is that you can save time by sending money from the comfort of your own home simply by using your phone! In addition, bank transactions often have a long processing time that can take up to two business days for it to be completed. Mama Mama transfers are completed instantly so you can enjoy faster transaction times.
