The US money transfer market has progressed steadily and had been driven majorly by international migration flows. The country is home to a large number of international immigrants. The number of international migrants in the US has doubled since 1990 and was recorded as 46.0 million in 2013. The country is deemed as the largest remittance sender owing to expanding immigrant population. The immigrant population has provided a strong impetus to the outbound or the international money transfer transactions. The US lags behind in terms of inbound remittances from other countries. The proportion of money received by the US in the form of remittances is comparatively very less in proportion to money being remitted from the US. The reason for the same is the least number of US born nationals working in other countries. Almost a quarter-million emigrants leave US every year, and the State Department estimates that between 5-5.5 million Americans presently reside overseas. The numbers of Americans leaving the US have increased steadily over the years, owing to tax structure, government policies, high penalty rates and other such reasons. Even though there has been an increase in American expat population in countries such as Canada, Mexico and the UK, there has not been a corresponding increase in the money being remitted by the Americans living abroad.

The bills payment landscape in the country is also witnessing radical changes. Since the launch of electronic bill payment and presentment, the adoption of electronic means for bills payment and presentment (e-bills) has increased. The use of online bill payments has flourished over the last few years and customers are increasingly paying their bills either through their computers or mobile devices. The need for convenient and accelerated bill payments solutions has been fuelling the market for bills payment in the US.
