RemitWise 🌍💸

A remittance app that helps families save, plan, and protect — not just send money.

RemitWise is a Stellar-based cross-border remittance and financial planning platform designed for migrant workers and their families. Instead of only transferring money, RemitWise enables smart allocation of remittances into spending, savings, bills, and protection, with full transparency and automation.

Built on the Stellar ecosystem, RemitWise leverages fast, low-cost payments and fiat on/off-ramps (anchors) to deliver a seamless experience for both senders and recipients.


🚨 Problem Statement

Traditional remittance apps focus only on sending money. As a result:

  • Funds are often spent immediately
  • Families struggle to save
  • Bills and insurance are missed
  • Senders lack visibility and control

There is no post-remittance financial planning layer.


💡 Solution

RemitWise introduces post-remittance intelligence:

  • Smart money splitting (spend, save, bills, insurance)
  • Automated monthly remittances
  • On-chain proof of delivery
  • Family-level financial planning

🧑‍🤝‍🧑 Example User Flow

  1. Ravi works abroad and sends $300 every month
  2. He sets rules:
    • $150 → daily expenses
    • $100 → savings
    • $50 → insurance
  3. Money is converted to USDC and sent via Stellar
  4. Family receives funds through local bank accounts via anchors
  5. Ravi can see on-chain proof and usage breakdown
