At Remitly, we help immigrant communities around the world send over $10 billion a year to their loved ones. We want to transform the lives of immigrants and their families by providing the most trusted financial service products on the planet.

Passbook is a banking experience designed for immigrants. It's easy to open an account with documents immigrants already have, built for travel back home and abroad, has no monthly fees, and makes remittances faster and cheaper than ever. Our mission is to create the most loved and trusted financial partner to immigrants globally. And we're just getting started.
