Safety of Partner Banks for Remittance in USA: Ensuring Compliance and Asset Protection

When sending remittances to the USA, ensuring the safety of funds is a top priority. At PandaRemit, we prioritize the security of your transactions through a combination of regulatory compliance, asset protection mechanisms, and trusted partnerships. Let’s dive into the measures we’ve implemented to safeguard your remittance experience.

Compliance: The Singapore MAS MPI License - Your Safety Shield

PandaRemit operates under the stringent guidelines of the Monetary Authority of Singapore (MAS). As a licensed provider under the Payment Services Act (PSA), we comply with rigorous anti-money laundering (AML) and counter-terrorism financing (CTF) regulations. The MAS MPI license acts as a safety shield, ensuring that all our operations meet the highest standards of financial compliance. This provides a secure framework for your transactions, guaranteeing that they are both legal and protected.

Asset Safety: Segregated Client Accounts at DBS

We understand that the safety of your funds is crucial, which is why PandaRemit ensures that all client funds are safeguarded through segregated client accounts at DBS Bank. This means that your money is kept separate from the company’s operational funds, ensuring it is fully protected. In the unlikely event of financial distress, this structure ensures that your funds remain unaffected and available for withdrawal at all times.

Comparison: PandaRemit vs Remitly – Reliability and Security

When comparing PandaRemit to other remittance services like Remitly, it’s important to highlight the reliability of our direct settlement network. PandaRemit partners with established global financial institutions like UnionPay, Alipay, and Visa Direct to guarantee secure, fast, and transparent transactions. These partners ensure that funds are settled directly, reducing any intermediary risks and providing more robust security compared to traditional remittance networks.

Addressing the Elephant in the Room: Are PandaRemit's Partner Banks Safe for Remittance to the USA?

There are often concerns about the safety of partner banks used for international remittances, especially when sending money to the USA. Here’s the fact-check: PandaRemit’s partner banks, including DBS Bank and those involved in our direct settlement network, are highly reputable and fully compliant with global financial standards. We take every step to ensure that both our financial partners and systems are continuously audited and certified to meet industry-leading security standards.
