From anxiety to peace of mind, it has changed the way I remit money.
After my daughter went to study in the UK, sending her living expenses every month became a major concern for me. I used to go to the bank counter to handle the remittance, and just filling out the forms would take half an hour. The staff would repeatedly check the information, and the handling fees were more painful than haggling at the market. Once, when her rent was due, the money got stuck for three days and didn’t arrive, the poor girl cried in desperation, and I was worried on the other end of the phone. Since then, every remittance feels like a trial. That day, my neighbor Sister Li said it was particularly convenient for her to send money to her son in Australia using #B1yaP*ay, so I downloaded the app with the mindset of giving it a try. During registration, real-name verification is required, and it only takes a few steps: taking a photo of the ID card and facial recognition, which is much simpler than opening a bank account. Once my daughter sends over the UK account information, I first click on "Transfer" on the homepage, select "On-chain Recharge," and transfer the USDT I had prepared in advance. Watching the progress bar complete, I was still a bit anxious, but after refreshing, the funds were credited. What surprised me the most was the "Flash Exchange" feature. After selecting USDT to exchange for British pounds, the real-time exchange rate was clear. After entering the amount, the system automatically calculated the amount that would be received. Just a few seconds after confirming, the exchange was successful. Finally, when filling in my daughter's account information, the app kindly reminded me not to enter the SWIFT code incorrectly. After double-checking and submitting, I had just put down my phone when I received a message from my daughter: "Mom, the money is here! It was a whole two days faster than last time!" Now on the 5th of every month, I open #B1yaP*ay, and the whole process of recharging, exchanging, and transferring is done in ten minutes, with the SMS notifications arriving even more punctually than an alarm clock. Looking at the photos my daughter sent from the supermarket in London, I finally understand why so many parents of international students have switched to this platform - no queues, no unnecessary fees, and no more anxieties waiting for the funds to arrive. This is the peace of mind that we, as parents, desire the most.
