2. Are Bank Transfers a Good Option?  

Banks are familiar, but often the slowest and costliest choice for smaller transfers.  

Why do banks take longer?  

- Transfers pass through multiple banks (UK → UK correspondent → Nepali bank).  

- Can take 3-7 business days—no weekends or holidays!  

- Fees stack up:  

  - Up to £15 sending fee (UK side).  

Use banks ONLY if:

➔ Sending large sums.  

➔ Your family needs funds directly in their Nepali bank account.  

 

3. Can Mobile Wallets Speed Up Transfers?  

Yes! Mobile wallets (like IME Pay, eSewa, or Khalti) are revolutionising remittances in Nepal. Funds arrive in minutes, not days.  

How do they work?  

1. You send money via an app like ACE.  

2. Your family gets an SMS alert.  

3. They spend or cash out instantly via their phone.  

Benefits: 

- Speed: 90% of transfers complete in minutes.

4. When Should I Use Cash Pickup?

Things to know:
