Remitly Business is thanking businesses in the U.S., UK, and Europe with the Big Payday Prize Draw. For ten weeks, one eligible business per country wins $1,000 in transfer credit, followed by a $10,000 grand prize.

Following its expansion into 23 European countries earlier this year, Remitly Business is thanking businesses in the U.S., UK, and parts of Europe with the Big Payday Prize Draw. From Friday, October 16, one eligible business in each country1 will win $1,0002 in transfer credit every week for ten weeks. In the final week, one business in each location will win a $10,0003 grand prize.

“When we sit down with business owners, the conversation always comes back to two things: cash flow and paying their people. So for our Remitly Business customers, we didn’t want a generic thank-you. We wanted to cover payday.” Said Ankur Tiwari, General Manager and VP of Remitly Business. 

Built for businesses in the U.S. and throughout Europe. Founders and finance teams paying international contractors, freelancers, vendors, and suppliers can use Remitly Business for competitive rates and low fees on cross-border payments, with delivery options that include bank deposit, mobile wallet, cash pickup, and home delivery depending on the recipient’s location.

Why small businesses. Small businesses help carry the economy. In the U.S., there are more than 36 million small businesses that make up 99.9% of all firms and employ 45.9% of private sector workers, per the SBA’s Office of Advocacy. In the EU, SMEs make up about 99% of businesses and employ roughly two in three private sector workers, according to the European Commission. Yet many still rely on tools built for far larger companies, with hidden exchange rate margins, surprise fees, and monthly plans. We built Remitly Business to change that.

How the Remitly Business Big Payday Prize Draw works. Open to new and existing Remitly Business customers, entry closes December 31, 2026. Each week from October 16th to December 17th, plus a final entry period from December 18th to December 31st, one business per country wins $1,000 in transfer credit (USD, GBP, or euro). After week ten, one business per country wins $10,000. Credit can be used to pay employees, contractors, freelancers, vendors, and suppliers in more than 175 countries by bank deposit, debit card, mobile wallet, or cash pickup, depending on the recipient’s location.

Built for businesses, every day. Remitly’s global network supports 100+ currencies and customer support services in 18 languages.

The Payday Prize Draw is another way Remitly is working to make moving money fair and fast, this time by putting some of it straight back into the businesses that keep our communities running.
