OwlTing Launches OwlPay Cash to Disrupt $230B U.S. Remittance Market
Event summary
- OwlTing Group's OwlPay Cash app submitted for App Store and Google Play approval on February 17, 2026.
- Initial launch targets five high-volume remittance corridors: Mexico, India, Colombia, Peru, and Argentina.
- Service leverages Visa Direct for direct-to-bank payments in local currencies.

The big picture
OwlTing's entry into the remittance market with OwlPay Cash challenges legacy banking models by offering institutional-grade pricing and direct digital payment rails. The $230 billion U.S. outbound remittance economy remains structurally inefficient, with high intermediary fees and slow settlement times. This launch positions OwlTing to capture recurring transaction volume in high-growth corridors where remittances represent significant portions of GDP.
