The Evolution and the Future of Cross-Border Payments in 2022 & Beyond 

After the direct foreign investment, remittances are now the second most popular way for low- and middle-income countries to get money from outside the country. Over the years, migration patterns and how remittances work in different parts of the world have changed in big ways.
