From struggle to solution: a migrant’s vision behind MasterRemit

Nuradin Omar is the down-to-earth, innovative Co-Founder and CEO of MasterRemit, a company dedicated to simplifying international money transfers with a focus on safety, speed, and accessibility.

As a migrant himself, his mission to empower migrants was deeply influenced by his personal experience in 2016. “I witnessed my family struggle to send money to loved ones in urgent need. Living in Australia at the time, my family had no viable options for sending money quickly and affordably. I realised that many migrants like myself were facing similar difficulties—high fees, slow transfer speeds, and complicated processes,” he shared in an interview with The Philippine Times.

Together with his brother Hashim, Nuradin co-founded MasterRemit to create an ecosystem for low-cost, accessible money transfers that can be made anytime and anywhere.

By connecting migrants to a broader financial system, MasterRemit ensures that loved ones can receive funds instantly, regardless of their location. The company’s commitment to this vision has made it a trusted partner for millions of people globally, including the Filipino community.

“We’ve built our services around the specific needs of migrants, understanding the urgency, costs, and challenges they face when sending money,” Nuradin shares.

MasterRemit offers a reliable, fast, and secure way for families and friends in the Philippines to receive money from abroad. The ease of sending funds online at https://www.masterremit.com/ or via the MasterRemit app, coupled with competitive exchange rates and minimal fees, has made MasterRemit a go-to solution for many Filipinos.

This commitment to excellent service ensures every transaction is seamless, efficient, and reliable—traits that resonate deeply with the Filipino community. This customer-first mindset is what makes MasterRemit stand out among competitors.

In his journey, Nuradin has witnessed several instances firsthand of how his company is making a tangible difference in people’s lives.

A customer sending money through MasterRemit to the Philippines was able to send money back home quickly with fees lower than they were used to. “The funds helped their mother receive timely medical treatment—something that would have been nearly impossible without quick access to funds. The relief and gratitude they expressed after the transfer went smoothly reaffirmed why we do what we do,” he says.

“The feedback we get from customers – particularly the stories of how we’ve made a difference – drives me to keep pushing for excellence. I’m also deeply passionate about financial inclusion and ensuring that migrants, no matter where they come from, have access to the tools they need to succeed financially. This sense of responsibility and purpose fuels me every day,” he adds.

Nuradin’s extensive experience in both the corporate and government sectors uniquely positions him to navigate the complex fintech landscape.

Throughout his career, Nuradin has demonstrated a commitment to excellence, blending technical and management expertise with a relentless drive for financial inclusivity.

As the Co-Founder and CEO of MasterRemit, he continues to spearhead initiatives that create a meaningful impact on the lives of their customers and the communities they serve.
