Let’s face it-mums are basically superheroes without capes. That’s why Mother’s Day is such a special time to show appreciation for the women who’ve made a difference in our lives. This year, let’s take a moment to celebrate everything our mums do. Wondering how to show Mum how much you care and support her from afar? Remitly makes sending money back home easier, quicker, and safer than ever.
Why secure and simple money transfers matter for Mum
Across the world, many mums depend on financial support from family members living abroad. Whether it’s to help cover everyday essentials like groceries and energy bills, or unexpected costs such as hospital visits or home repairs, sending money quickly and reliably can make all the difference. And of course, sometimes we simply want to treat Mum on special occasions—like Mother’s Day.
That’s where Remitly comes in. With Remitly, you’ve got a fast, secure, and stress-free way to send money-without the fuss of old-school banks, long queues, or complex paperwork.

One of the best things about Remitly? Mum doesn’t need an account to receive funds, and there are plenty of delivery options to suit her needs and lifestyle.
Bank Deposit

When quick transfers really matter
