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.
