Let’s face it, mothers are basically superheroes without capes. So that’s why Mother’s Day is a special day where we appreciate the women who have made an impact in our lives. This Mother’s Day, let’s recognize and give thanks to our moms for everything they do. Looking for a way to show Mom your appreciation and support? Remitly makes it easier and more secure than ever to send money to your loved ones.
Why are easy and secure money transfers for Mom so important?
Many mothers around the world rely on financial support from their family members abroad for their routine, day-to-day expenses such as food, utility bills, medical expenses, and more. Especially in the event of a sudden emergency where unexpected costs arise such as medical bills or home repairs, or whether you just want to celebrate special occasions (such as Mother’s Day!), it’s important to have a go-to money transfer method that’s fast, easy, and secure. Remitly’s got you covered!
Traditional banks typically charge steep—and oftentimes, hidden—fees to send money. This often involves a trip to a physical bank just to wait in long lines, fill out extensive paperwork and navigate often-confusing transaction processes. With Remitly, sending money to Mom is a quick, stress-free process you can do right from your phone or computer.
The many ways for Mom to receive money with Remitly, stress-free.
Let’s take a closer look at just how easy and convenient it is for Mom to receive money through Remitly. She doesn’t need to create an account as a recipient, and there’s a wide variety of delivery options, so you can choose the best one for Mom.
Bank Deposit
With Remitly, money can be transferred directly into Mom’s bank account, making it one of the best and most hassle-free delivery options. As long as you have the correct bank account number and the name on the transfer exactly matches Mom’s government-issued ID, she can receive the money stress-free right into her account.
However, if Mom doesn’t use a bank account or if she simply prefers cash, no worries! Here are some other great seamless and user-friendly options:
Cash Pickup
Remitly offers the convenience of picking up a transfer directly in cash. Just choose a location from thousands of our partner locations worldwide that’s most convenient for Mom.

Mobile Money
Mom also has the choice to receive funds securely and directly to her digital wallet on her smartphone.

Real-life situations where quick money transfers matter
- Everyday needs: On one hand, moms have everyday costs that they budget for such as groceries, utilities, insurance, school fees, and other daily needs.
- Emergencies: But, sometimes life happens. Emergency expenses such as sudden medical bills, urgent home repairs, and other unexpected costs can arise at any moment and cause financial stress for Mom.
- Special occasions: Other times, we may simply want to celebrate special occasions like birthdays and holidays to show Mom just how much she’s loved (like Mother’s Day, of course!) by sending a special gift, maybe even as a surprise.
What do all these have in common? They’re all real-life situations that can happen at any moment, and where making a quick and seamless money transfer is essential. Especially when Mom needs it most, Remitly understands how important it is to feel safe when receiving money. Rest assured—Remitly’s got Mom covered.
Tips for making Mom’s experience even easier
How can you make it even easier for Mom to receive money transfers? Here are a few ideas:
- Help Mom set up a mobile wallet for even faster access. Whether it’s through the App Store or Google Play, walk Mom through the steps to downloading and logging into the apps she needs to receive funds right into her mobile wallet on her smartphone. With the right guidance, even non-tech-savvy moms can digitise their wallet and access funds conveniently on the go.
- Recommend a transfer method that’s most convenient for Mom’s location. If Mom lives in a more remote location or simply values convenience, a home delivery may be the best option to receive money. Or if she prefers cash instead of a mobile transfer, she can easily pick up the transfer funds in cash at the partner location she prefers. You can make the process even more seamless for Mom by confirming what kinds of ID the pickup location accepts beforehand if she’s not sure.
- Send a thoughtful note with the transfer to make Mom feel special. When selecting the reason for the transfer, you can also add a personalised message to brighten Mom’s day and show her how much you care.
