Worldremit Paypal Malawi

shared by samielbaqqali on 11 Feb 21 - No Cached
  • World Remit. Starting from 2016, it is now possible to use World Remit website and mobile app to send money from Algeria to Malawi and other 150 countries. You can load your World Remit account through World Remit cash collection points, or some local banks in Algeria. Advantages of using World Remit: It is safe and secure.
  • PayPal. It is not possible to send directly to Malawi using this service with a normal account balance. The balance will need to be withdrawn from a linked bank account. DZ Bank and its branches do issue VISA/MasterCard cards that you can then link to your PayPal account. From there, you can load your PayPal account and send it to anyone in Malawi.

      WorldRemit need to target this kind of options. The traditional banks in Algeria can't send money to Malawi and WorldRemit can do that so it's a big advantage for the company.

    WorldRemit in Algeria is playing it smart by being the only one who can send money to Malawi. In my opinion, I think that WorldRemit need to target this kind of options. The traditional banks in Algeria can't send money to Malawi and WorldRemit can do that so it's a big advantage for the company.
