In May this year, the remittance flows between Mexico and the US grew by 31% to over $4.5bn.
Revolut USA CEO Ron Oliveira said: “In the context of today’s environment, people need to lean on each other for support now more than ever, and we are committed to providing consumers with a simple way to send money to loved ones and communities, no matter where in the world they may be.
“The launch of this remittance corridor is a major milestone for Revolut – one that we’re confident will improve the financial lives of customers in the US and in Mexico.”
