Where RELY is headed
Remitly enters 2028 as the default digital remittance brand across the four corridors that matter most for migrant workers: US to Mexico, US to India, US to Philippines, and UK/EU to West Africa. The destination is a company processing north of $90B in annual send volume (versus roughly $55B run-rate now), generating $1.8B in revenue, and converting closer to 20% operating margins as the unit economics of repeat senders compound. That last bit is the underappreciated part. A first-time Remitly customer is barely profitable. A customer in year three sends 14 times a year, costs almost nothing to service, and refers two others. The cohort math is what the 11x forward multiple is ignoring.
