Xfermoney — FAQ Series 1
What is this P2P Remittance?In P2P Remittance, one person sends money to another person without needing a third-party broker. In P2P Remittance, most of the times actual money not really crosses the border. It can be explained with one simple example.
Person A wants to send US$ 1,000 to UK from America to Person C
Person B wants to send US$ 1000 to America from UK to Person D
It will match two people (orders) as a pair and charge fees, for example charges $5 from each party, then the transaction would look like this:
Person A would send (via Xfermoney UK) AUS$ 1000 to Person D.
Person B would send (via Xfermoney US) AUS$ 1000 to Person C
The money got transferred locally within the border.
