Sending Love Home This Holiday Season
How to Remit Safely and Quickly
1 December 2025
Sending love home for the holidays? Learn how to remit securely, avoid delays, and see why OTT Remit is a fast and trusted way to support family abroad.
The holiday season is a time for connection, gratitude, and generosity. Whether it’s helping family back home Celebrate Christmas, supporting loved ones through the New Year, or sending a token of appreciation, millions of people around the world choose this time to send money home. In fact, global remittances to low- and middle-income countries reached over $685 billion in 2024, with December and January being the busiest months of the year.
As heartwarming as these transactions are, the holiday rush can also bring challenges — from high fees and delays to security risks. That’s why it’s important to send money safely, quickly, and stress-free during the peak remittance season.
Why Remittance Peaks During the Holiday Season
It’s no surprise that remittance activity surges in December and January. Many senders are preparing gifts, funding family celebrations, paying tuition fees, or helping loved ones get a strong start to the new year. However, with increased volume comes increased demand — and that means longer processing times, higher transaction costs, or even exposure to scams.
By understanding the season rush, you can plan ahead and ensure your remittance reaches your family right when they need it most.
How to Remit Securely
Protecting your money is just as important as sending it on time. Here are some best practices to keep your transfers safe:
- Choose licensed and trusted remittance providers — Always use authorized services that comply with financial regulations.
- Verify recipient details carefully — Double-check names, account numbers, and destination countries before confirming a transaction.
- Watch out for scams phishing attempts — Be wary of suspicious links, fake promotions, or requests for personal information.
- Use secure and encrypted platforms — Choose digital services that protect your data and follow strict compliance standards.
