Let’s face it-mums are basically superheroes without capes. That’s why Mother’s Day is such a special time to celebrate the women who’ve made a lasting impact in our lives. This Mother’s Day, let’s take the time to recognise and thank our mums for everything they do. Looking for a way to show your appreciation and support from afar? Remitly makes it easier and more secure than ever to send money to the ones who matter most.
Why are easy and secure money transfers for Mum so important?
Around the world, many mums rely on support from loved ones living overseas to cover everyday needs-whether it’s groceries, utility bills, school fees, or healthcare. And during emergencies like hospital visits or home repairs, having a fast and trusted money transfer option can make all the difference. Of course, sometimes we just want to celebrate special moments-like Mother’s Day-with a surprise gift. That’s where Remitly comes in.
Banks often charge high (and sometimes hidden) fees to send money, not to mention long queues, paperwork, and confusing processes. With Remitly, you can send money to Mum quickly, securely, and right from your phone or laptop-no stress involved.
Ways for Mum to receive money with Remitly, stress-free
Remitly gives you options so you can choose the best way for your mum to receive money-no account needed on her end, and no tech skills required.
Bank Deposit
Transfer directly into Mum’s bank account-it’s one of the simplest and most reliable options. Just make sure the name on the transfer matches the name on her government-issued ID and that the bank details are accurate.
If Mum doesn’t use a bank account or prefers to receive cash, no worries-Remitly offers more flexible options:
Cash Pickup
Mum can collect cash from thousands of trusted partner locations around the world. With a valid photo ID (like a passport or driver’s licence) and the transaction reference number, she can collect her transfer in person, hassle-free.
Mobile Money
You can also send money directly to Mum’s mobile wallet if she uses one-quick, safe, and convenient.
Home Delivery
Depending on where your mum lives, cash can even be delivered straight to her doorstep. It’s a great option for those living in regional or rural areas where access to banks or pickup points might be limited.

For cash pickups, Mum just needs a valid government-issued photo ID that matches the name on the transfer. For mobile or bank deposits, no extra action is usually needed.

Real-life moments when quick money transfers make a difference
Everyday essentials: From food and rent to power bills and school fees, regular support helps cover Mum’s day-to-day needs.
Emergencies: Life can throw curveballs-medical emergencies or urgent repairs can happen any time. Fast access to funds helps Mum stay prepared.
Celebrations: Whether it’s her birthday, Mother’s Day or another special occasion, a thoughtful transfer lets Mum know you’re thinking of her-even from across the globe.
Whatever the moment, Remitly makes sure support reaches Mum when she needs it most.
Tips to make Mum’s experience even easier
- Help her set up a mobile wallet. If she’s open to it, you can walk her through downloading and using a wallet app so she can access her funds on the go.
- Recommend a delivery method that fits her lifestyle. Home delivery may be ideal if she’s far from town, while cash pickup might suit those who prefer face-to-face service.
- Add a personal touch. When sending the transfer, include a heartfelt note. Even a short message can brighten her day.
