Quick Answer: Remitly has made it easier to find and share your referral invitation, understand how it works, and help eligible friends access more value. Referred friends may receive a referral discount, an applicable exchange-rate boost, and a transfer-fee waiver where offered. Referral programs are also now available in Brazil and Israel.
Recommending Remitly often starts with a simple conversation. A friend asks how you send money home, or someone in your family is looking for a way to make their first transfer. Sharing your invitation should be just as easy as having that conversation — and now it is.
Remitly has refreshed the referral experience to make three things simpler: finding your invitation, understanding how it works, and giving eligible friends a more useful set of welcome benefits when they get started.
Find your invitation more easily
To find your invitation, tap the referral entry directly from Home to open the Invite experience.
From there, you can review your referral offer and use an available sharing option right away. That shorter path matters when you’re in the middle of a conversation and want to send your invitation on the spot, rather than searching through menus to find it.
Understand the offer before you share
It’s hard to recommend something you can’t explain. The redesigned referral screen presents the rules in a clearer, step-by-step structure, so you can see how the invitation works and what needs to happen for a reward before you share it.
The refreshed Rewards experience also brings relevant reward information forward, making it easier to find. Together, these changes mean you can check your offer, share it with confidence, and return to your rewards information whenever you need to. The exact layout can differ slightly between the app and web.
More value for eligible friends
Here’s what changed for the person you’re inviting: eligible referred friends can now receive a referral discount together with an applicable promotional exchange-rate boost and, where offered, a transfer-fee waiver.
These benefits affect different parts of a transfer, and they’re designed to work together rather than one automatically replacing another:
- A referral discount reduces the cost of the transfer according to the offer’s terms.
- A boosted exchange rate can increase how much the recipient receives on the eligible amount sent.
- A fee waiver removes an eligible Remitly transfer fee.
Looking at all three together gives your friend a clearer picture of the full offer, rather than judging it by the discount alone. The exact combination varies by sending country, destination, and promotion. A larger combination of benefits doesn’t mean every discount amount has increased, and an exchange-rate boost may only apply up to a stated amount. Your friend should always rely on the offer and final quote shown for their own transfer.
Know what needs to happen for a referral reward
Before you share your invitation, it’s worth checking the terms attached to it. These terms explain what your friend needs to do for the referral to qualify — and they can include a minimum transfer amount, timing requirements, or other eligibility conditions.
A few things worth knowing:
- Sharing a link alone doesn’t necessarily earn a reward.
- Creating an account alone may not satisfy the requirements either.
- Your reward and your friend’s welcome offer may be different from each other.
Once your friend follows the referral link, they should review the rate, fees, discount, and recipient amount before deciding to send. That way, there are no surprises about what qualifies and what doesn’t.
Referral programs are reaching more customers
Referral programs have expanded to Brazil and Israel, each with local terms and sharing experiences. That gives more customers a way to recommend Remitly within their own communities, subject to the program available in their market.

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQs)
How do I invite a friend to Remitly?
Where available, you can access the referral experience directly from Home. From there, review your invitation and choose an available sharing option to send it to your friend.
What does my friend get when I refer them?
Eligible referred friends may receive a referral discount alongside an applicable promotional exchange-rate boost and, where offered, a transfer-fee waiver. The exact benefits vary by sending country, destination, and promotion, so your friend should check the offer shown for their own transfer.
Can my friend use more than one welcome benefit?
Yes, in many cases. Eligible benefits like a referral discount, an exchange-rate boost, and a fee waiver may work together rather than one automatically replacing another. Your friend should rely on the offer and final quote displayed for their specific journey to see exactly what applies.
When do I receive my referral reward?
Qualification depends on the terms attached to your invitation, which may include a minimum transfer amount, timing requirements, or other eligibility conditions. Check the terms on your own invitation for the details that apply to you.

Referral programs and their terms vary by market. Remitly’s referral program is currently available in additional markets including Brazil and Israel, alongside existing programs elsewhere. Check the referral experience in your account to see what’s available to you.
