It's how well reviewed Remitly is, out of 100. Negative and mixed reviews take points off, and so does having only a few reviews: a product needs plenty of them, compared with the most-reviewed products here, to reach the high 80s and 90s. It's worked out from reviews only, needs at least 5 of them, and updates as new ones come in.
Category: Money transfer. Type: International money transfer. Fees: Fees vary by country and amount, shown upfront; no hidden fees. Rates & rewards: Competitive exchange rates; transfers arrive on time or Remitly refunds the transfer fee.
