There’s no wonder that more and more Mexican breadwinners working in the United States forgo conventional remittance options like bank wire transfers in favor of online money order services and mobile apps.

To wire funds offline, the sender must get to bank branches or remittance companies’ agent locations during working hours. That’s not to mention higher service fees and exchange rate markups.

So naturally, lots of people prefer online fintech solutions for international remittance to tackle these issues. 

What Are the Online Money Transfer Options to Select From?

There are three online money transfer options for the user’s discretion.

Online banking

A rather simple way to send money abroad via the bank’s original mobile app or website. But to do so, you’re required to have a savings/debit account, credit line, or deposit in this exact institution. The client can fund transactions either from a debit/credit card or pay from the bank account.

Online money order services

These are typically represented both as browser versions and mobile applications. The distinct feature of this method is that the remitter may optionally send payment to an offline cash pickup location or order home delivery.

Digital wallet apps

These services stand out for their instant payment processing and most frugal transaction fees. Moreover, unlike online banking, e-wallet apps save users a lot of effort and time as they don’t need to fill out banking details like SWIFT codes, IBAN, and debit account numbers. Also, the recipients aren’t required to prove their identity as they do when receiving funds at agent locations of money order companies.

All in all, it should be your primary selection among the available online remittance methods.

Verified IPSIPay users can get a prepaid Visa card and a supplementary companion card to move funds directly between them with no fees.

To transfer money to Mexico directly to an IPSIPay branded card, you only need to prove your identity via the app by giving your address, full name, SSN, or ITIN number.

How Can You Transfer Money to Mexico With Lower Fees?

If you regularly transfer money to Mexico, banking fees may take a large part of the transferred amounts. It’s very upsetting, given how hard earning money is for most people, especially immigrants. Hence, you should always research conversion rates and other possible charges before choosing a payment option.

The bank you’re served in here, in the States, may have a partner institution across the border, and the exchange rates are rather advantageous. If not, you should probably opt for another way to transfer money online to Mexico, for instance, run a transaction to your companion Visa card.

As a rule, the service fee for SWIFT payment is $5. Besides, intermediary banks can deduct an additional currency conversion margin. At IPSIPay, we’ve managed to level down the exchange margin to make it no less competitive than other online remittance services. If you choose IPSIPay’s wallet-to-card transactions, there will be no fees.
