Remittance & International Payments

Remittances and cross-border payments are vital to The Gambia's economy, with millions of dalasi flowing in from the diaspora each year. In the President’s 2026 State of the Nation Address, he mentioned that $872 million in remittances accounted for 34% of the country’s GDP, acting as a key factor in stabilizing the Gambian dalasi and bolstering household incomes. Gamswitch’s International Payments service provides secure, regulated infrastructure to support these flows and to connect Gambian businesses to the global economy.

The service integrates with international payment networks and correspondent banking relationships, enabling inbound remittances, outbound business payments, and foreign currency transactions to be processed through a single, compliant gateway.

Security and regulatory compliance are built into the core of the service. All transactions are processed in accordance with the requirements of the Central Bank of The Gambia, as well as international anti-money laundering (AML) and Know Your Customer (KYC) standards. Advanced fraud detection operates in real time, protecting both senders and recipients. Comprehensive transaction reporting provides financial institutions and regulators with the visibility they need to maintain confidence in cross-border payment flows.
