I - Transfergratis innovation: A response to immigrants' needs
The Quebec Immigration and Integration Fair, Fall 2024, offers participants a valuable opportunity to discover the innovative solutions provided by Transfergratis. These solutions are specifically designed to simplify life for newcomers, particularly by enabling fast and secure money transfers to support their families in Africa.
A - Common money transfer issues faced by newcomers
Sending money to their families remains a major challenge for newcomers to Canada. They often face long waits at traditional transfer agencies, which can be highly time-consuming. Additionally, the paperwork can be daunting, with numerous forms to fill out and inconvenient opening hours. Transfer fees are typically high, and the slow service quality only complicates their situation further. Even online options come with high costs, long processing times, and security concerns, making these financial transfers particularly stressful.
These challenges add to their settlement expenses, making their financial situation even more difficult and complicating their integration into Canadian society. Fortunately, Transfergratis offers solutions to help ease this burden.
B - Solutions offered by Transfergratis
Transfergratis stands out with several key features that address the needs of immigrants.
First, the absence of transfer fees allows immigrants to send money without additional costs—crucial for those aiming to maximize each transfer and save money. Nafissa, a recent immigrant from Burkina Faso who arrived in Canada six months ago, shared on one of our platforms: “Thanks to Transfergratis, I was able to send money to my family in Africa without fees, which made a big difference for us. The transfers are fast and reliable!”
Additionally, transactions are processed quickly, often in minutes for mobile money transfers and up to one business day for bank deposits, which is essential in emergencies. Jean, who has been in Canada for a year, shared his experience: “In case of an emergency, Transfergratis is a lifesaver. I was able to transfer money to my mother in just a few minutes, with no stress or hassle.”
Security is also a priority, with the platform constantly implementing robust protection measures to safeguard each user’s personal and financial information. Finally, Transfergratis ensures transfers are made at the day’s exchange rate without hidden fees, providing users with advantageous conditions.
