The Latin America, Middle East and Africa Digital Remittance Market would witness market growth of 21.5% CAGR during the forecast period (2020-2026).
Digital remittances have the ability to transform the remittances industry in Southern Africa, minimize costs and promote the transition from unregulated and cash-based remittance networks to regulated digital platforms. However, enhancing financial inclusion, building consumer knowledge and confidence in emerging technology platforms will be key, and the implementation of regulatory frameworks that balance creativity and risk will be vital to this transformation.
Blockchain is one of the main innovations that will disrupt the money transfer industry. While most major financial institutions and exchanges are still unwilling to give up traditional money and digital currency funds, adoption among remittance start-ups has increased dramatically as they use blockchain to deliver safer, quicker and cheaper financial services to those who are underserved or under-served by their local formal financial network.
The mainstream financial institutions do use blockchain-driven systems to effect remittance transactions. However, there are still major negative correlations with technology, as the robustness of the new financial system is considered to be lacking. In addition, regulators around the world are divided on how best to respond to blockchain and related cryptocurrencies. Economic responses vary from tentative hope to a strong call for a moratorium on cryptocurrencies. As a consequence, the biggest bottleneck in technological acceptance and the consequent cost reduction in remittance transactions derives from regulatory reluctance and uncertainty.
