Modernizing International Remittances: IndusInd Bank Partners with Wise Platform for Seamless NRI Money Transfers

Wise Platform, a global money transfer service, has secured its first bank integration in India with IndusInd Bank. The integration is aimed at enabling non-resident Indians (NRIs) living abroad to make international payments seamlessly into India. This partnership marks a major milestone for Wise Platform in India, as it provides its customers with access to a comprehensive solution for transparent, fast, and inexpensive transfers to India.

Integration Details: Powered by the Wise Platform’s APIs

Powered by Wise Platform’s APIs, IndusInd Bank’s NRI customers can now send money from USD and SGD to recipients in India without being subjected to exchange rate markups. Customers get access to “lightning-fast” transactions and full visibility over their payment status and estimated arrival time – all entirely online. With this integration, Wise aims to improve the customer experience by providing real-time status updates and enabling customers to easily access transparent information about costs and exchange rates for their transfers.

Remittances to India and the NRI Population

According to the World Bank, remittances to India hit $100 billion in 2020, making it the largest recipient of remittances in the world. The NRI population stands at 13.4 million, with 1.28 million residing in the US. As such, the integration of Wise Platform’s APIs by IndusInd Bank is a major development for the NRI community.
