Bank AlBilad's dedicated remittance arm and one of the most-used services among Nepali workers in Saudi Arabia, with direct wallet-loading partnerships inside Nepal.

IME Remit's closest domestic rival, with a comparably wide branch network and consistently competitive corridor rates from the Gulf and Malaysia.
