What Are Corridors?

A corridor is a supported send → receive route between two countries, including:

  • The origin country (where the sender and funds are located)

  • The sender - a human behind a digital wallet (mobile app) in the origin country

  • The destination country (where the beneficiary receives funds)

  • The beneficiary - a human behind a digital wallet (mobile app) in the destination country

  • The supported payout methods (bank account, mobile money, cash, vouchers)

  • The currency pair - in the context of remittance, is an origin country currency versus a destination country currency

  • The FX rules, fees, and compliance requirements - currency exchange rules, additional fees, PII data gathered for mandatory compliance data processing (e.g. travel rule)

  • The licensed payout partners in the destination market

For example:

  • Qatar → Philippines (QAR → PHP)

  • South Africa → Uganda (ZAR → UGX)

  • UK → India (GBP → INR)

Each corridor defines how money flows, what rules apply, and which payout networks are used.
