Video: how a remittance company collects every customer e-Transfer in one wallet

Here's how money moves through Invincible Pay for a remittance company. Take MapleBridge Remit. It's a money services business that helps people in Canada send money to family abroad.

Each customer pays MapleBridge in Canadian dollars by Interac e-Transfer. With auto-deposit, the money goes straight into MapleBridge's Invincible Pay wallet. For more control, MapleBridge can use Secure e-Transfer. Each payment waits in a secure inbox first, not the wallet. That's an extra layer of security against fraud. MapleBridge checks who sent it, then claims it, rejects it or marks it as not recognised.

All day, MapleBridge collects payments from its customers, then sends one EFT or Bulk e-Transfer to its liquidity provider. MapleBridge reviews the transfer and sends it, all from the same wallet. The liquidity provider converts the funds to crypto. MapleBridge then sends it to a payout partner in the destination country, and the payout partner settles with the beneficiary.

That's how we help remittance companies, by handling your Canadian pay-in side, so you have one less thing to worry about. Let Invincible Pay make collecting from your customers in Canada the easy part of running your remittance business.

Why remittance companies struggle to collect in Canada

Running a remittance or money transfer business in Canada means taking dozens of payments a day. Most banks and payment providers aren't set up for that, or for you.

  1. Banks turn money services away

    A typical bank rejects money service businesses, or closes the account later with little explanation. Your customers' payments are left with nowhere to land.

  2. Limits that don't fit a busy day

    A typical bank caps business e-Transfers at around $10,000. Other providers slow you down with limits and compliance questions.

  3. Months before a yes

    Payment providers that will look at an MSB can take up to 3 months to decide. Your corridors wait the whole time.

A wallet built for money service businesses

Every customer's e-Transfer lands in one wallet, with no pause on what comes in. You send the total on as one EFT, a same-day wire or a Bulk e-Transfer split, and you usually get a decision on your application within 3 business days.

From your customer's e-Transfer to the family abroad

One customer's payment, from their bank to a family abroad. The Canadian dollar part runs through your wallet, and your partners take it from there.

  1. Your customers

    Customers pay by e-Transfer

    They pay in Canadian dollars by Interac e-Transfer from their own bank. With auto-deposit, each payment goes straight into your wallet.

  2. If you want to check first

    Check who sent it

    With Secure e-Transfer, a payment waits until you've checked the sender. You claim it, reject it or mark it as not recognised.

    Converted and paid out

    Your liquidity provider converts the funds, and your payout partner in the destination country pays the family. We never convert currency.

A day of customer payments, sent on as one transfer

A remittance day is many small payments. Each customer sends what their own bank allows: in this example, from $85 to $2,950.

By the end of the day, 37 payments have added up to $48,615. You close the day with one EFT of $48,000 to your liquidity provider.

A currency exchange business collects Canadian dollars at its counter the same way. Every other kind of money service starts at payments for MSBs.

What we'll ask a remittance company

Our money services onboarding starts with your corridors and the partners who pay out abroad. Here's the rest of what we'll ask.

  • Your FINTRAC registration, with money transferring listed among your services.
  • Your corridors and partners: the countries you send to, your liquidity provider and your payout partners.
  • Your AML compliance program: the current policy, and how you verify a customer before they send money.
  • Your daily volume: how many customers pay you on a normal day, and the usual size of a payment.
  • Who owns and runs the business: directors, officers and anyone owning 25% or more verify their identity online.
  • A compliance contact we can reach by name, email and phone.

What remittance companies ask us before the first transfer

No. Your wallet holds and moves Canadian dollars, and we work only with Canadian businesses. Your liquidity provider converts the funds, and your payout partner in the destination country pays the beneficiary.
The Canadian pay-in side: taking each customer's Canadian dollars and passing the total to your liquidity provider. We do that by Interac e-Transfer, EFT and same-day wire, from one wallet. See how we work with other money service businesses.
Whatever their own bank lets them send, which is usually $3,000 to $5,000 a day. Your wallet receives without limits and doesn't pause payments, however many customers pay you that day.
Yes, by wire, if your provider is in Canada: wires are domestic, in Canadian dollars, and go out the same day. An EFT typically arrives in 1 business day. Bulk e-Transfer sends up to $25,000 per transfer, so $48,000 goes out as two.
You can apply in about 20 minutes. We usually decide within 3 business days, and you can collect within 5, once we have your documents.
Your funds are safeguarded under the Retail Payment Activities Act: kept separate from our own money, in a dedicated account covered by insurance, as the Act requires.
