In a transformative era for digital cross-border remittances in Mexico, a recent report by Visa underscores a remarkable shift towards mobile applications as the preferred method for sending and receiving money. According to Visa's third annual report titled "Money Travels: Adoption of Digital Remittances in 2024," digital remittances are witnessing significant traction in both usage and adoption rates across Mexico.


Changing Trends in Remittance Methods.


The report reveals that mobile apps have become the preferred choice for sending (64%) and receiving (59%) money, followed by digital remittances from physical locations (42% and 34%). This marks a substantial preference over traditional methods such as cash (6% and 5%) and check/money order (3% and 4%). Shifts in Remittance Behavior Despite a decline in the frequency of international money transfers among Mexicans—from 52% receiving money in December 2022 to 34% in March 2024, and from 18% sending funds to 13% in the same period—there remains optimism among senders. Forty-two percent of respondents plan to maintain or increase their remittance volumes in 2024. Insights into User Behavior The study highlights that nearly two-thirds (64%) of senders and three-quarters (71%) of recipients in Mexico engage in remittance transactions at least once annually.


Challenges such as high fees and exchange rate calculations remain significant barriers for digital transfers, though an increasing number of Mexican users (37% sending, 44% receiving) report smoother experiences, indicating improved digital transfer processes. Advantages and Usage Patterns Digital payments are recognized as the quickest method among Mexican senders (77%) and recipients (71%), with transactions typically completed in less than a day. Key benefits cited by users include ease of use, privacy/security, and simplification of financial support to friends and family. Approximately 35% of remittance users sent 5,000 pesos or more in 2023, while half (50%) sent less than 3,500 pesos. Notably, the United States remains the top destination for outbound remittances from Mexico, receiving 46% of total transfers.
