Supporting documents and compliance reviews are an important part of international remittance processing. They help ensure regulatory compliance, transaction security, and a smooth transfer experience for customers.

Why Supporting Documents Are Required

Supporting documents help us verify and process your remittance in accordance with applicable regulations.

• Verify the transaction purpose
• Meet regulatory obligations
• Prevent fraud and financial crime
• Comply with RBI guidelines
• Comply with FEMA regulations
• Protect customers and beneficiaries

Document verification is a standard part of international remittance processing.

Source of Funds Verification

Certain transactions may require customers to provide information regarding the source of funds used for the transfer.

Examples of acceptable source of funds include:

• Salary Income
• Business Income
