After evaluating lots of candidates, burning the midnight oil, I’m proud to publish, what I think is the world’s first Periodic Table of Remittances (Money Transfer). The table provides a glance into the Remittances world and the players who are prominent.
The table can be shared as long as the original table is untouched and due credit is given.
