South African government has been liberalizing their policies and regulatory frameworks for remittance service providers. The documentation, fee structure and business conducting guidelines are likely to be improvised by the regulators leading to a higher remittance business. The flexibility expected to be adopted by the government is serving as an incentive for both the service providers as well as the customers availing remittance services. The growth rate for mobile/digital channel is expected to be very high in the coming years since ADLAs are expected to be market leaders with their low pricing strategy focusing on making the services available to all the segments of the population. The market is also likely to expand in terms of the digital channels like mobile wallets and bitcoins which can be used readily for international transfers and deliver services within few hours.
