Forecast Summary

The volume of digital domestic money transfer payments will exceed 300 billion globally for the first time in 2026, from 207 billion in 2022. This represents a growth of nearly 50%.
  • Superapps, where multiple services including payment and financial transaction processing are available in one app, are driving digitisation of previously cash-based payments, by including messaging and access to other services alongside payments.
  • The top three countries will account for just under 74% of global digital domestic money transfer transactions in 2026. The report identified the top three markets for usage as:
       1.  China
       2.  US
       3.  India
  • The appeal of social payments, in which payments are integrated into social platforms, has driven transactions in these three countries. WeChat Pay in China and Venmo in the US were cited by the research as examples of how social payments are driving domestic money transfer. Money transfer vendors must identify the most popular social platforms in each country and aim to create partnerships that enable social payments.
  • Differentiation is a key challenge for money transfer apps, particularly given the highly competitive market landscape. The superapp approach, where a marketplace of different services is offered in-app, is key to creating money transfer apps that offer greater value for users. Therefore, vendors must onboard other financial service providers and eCommerce merchants, to boost the unique user value their apps represent.
