I like this. I would love to see it expanded to work for migrant families (maybe also a less extortionate method for sending remittances back home) too.

Depends on where they want to send the remittance to. You're not going to get that for places like Somalia.

True, but Central America is a good place to start.

Why not? Somalia already receives $1.3B/year in remittances, so clearly it can be done. Maybe it's already as cheap as it can be, but maybe not.
