We are INSTAREM, our name finding its origins in two words summarizing all that we stand for- ‘INSTANT REMITTANCE’.

- Our Mission -

" focus on a satisfactory
customer experience with
constant value creation, whilst
striving to reduce the cost of
transfering money globally."

- The Story -

’ The Instarem story begins with a very personal experience.
Prajit Nanu faced a number of challenges in sending money
across international borders, like opaque FX rates and extended
timelines for delivery. This prompted him and Michael
Bermingham, a close aide, to collaborate with a shared vision of
making a difference to the world they live in. ’
Where can I get a better FX conversion?
Why is the amount different from the amount my bank committed to?
What is an interbank FX rate and why can't I access it?
Why does it take so long for my money to reach my family?
How do I tackle all the hidden fees when I send money abroad?

We know exactly what you’re thinking when you send money abroad. Sending money across the globe should be a process as easy as 1-2-3. But it’s not.

WE ARE HERE TO
HELP YOU CHANGE THIS!
