The biggest problem of migrators is that they should understand that when living here and earning Australia money, everything gets easier and cheaper.

For the countries which exported labour to rich countries, they would gain enormous exchange funds from international remittances and regard the money as foreign investment to facilitate their economic development.

Remittance earning is increasing day by day but at a lower rate than the increase in emigration from Bangladesh due to the increasing share of unskilled or semi-skilled labors than the professionals in international migration. The share of remittance in GNI (Gross National Income) is increasing day by day. It affects almost all the macro-economic indicators of a country positively. Though there are also negative sides of remittance earning e.g. brain drain, its overall contribution to Bangladesh economy is very much effective.

The larger fee you put, the faster the transaction will be processed. You do not need to give any personal information to anyone to send the money and therefore in this sense it is anonymous.
