Current report

Remitly is a trusted provider of financial services that transcend borders. With a footprint spanning more than 175 countries, we have built one of the world’s leading global money movement platforms, trusted by millions of customers who rely on us everyday. Leveraging our strengths in global money movement, we continue to evolve beyond a remittance company into a diversified, cross-border financial services provider, serving both consumers and businesses across a growing set of use cases.

Current report

Active customers increased to approximately 9.3 million, or 19% growth, for the three months ended December 31, 2025, compared to the three months ended December 31, 2024. This increase was primarily due to an increase in the number of new customers, driven by continued marketing efficiency and strong retention, as well as product and geographic expansion. The increase was also a result of growth in new customer categories, including high-amount senders and small- to mid-sized businesses. Ongoing improvements in customer experience and localized innovation in key corridors supported customer acquisition and engagement.

Current report

Evolving regulatory developments may influence customer behavior and transaction volumes. For example, recent U.S. policy changes have increased the costs associated with the H-1B visa program and increased deportation activity more broadly, and the One Big Beautiful Bill Act (the “OBBBA”), which passed on July 4, 2025, imposes a tax on outbound, non-digital remittances from the United States to recipients abroad. While these regulatory developments may impact certain areas of our business, our business has remained resilient through various macroeconomic, political, and regulatory cycles over the past decade. We will continue to evaluate the impact the new legislation will have on our consolidated financial statements, but at this time, we do not expect that the remittance tax included in the OBBBA will have a material impact on our business.

Current report

The OBBBA also enacts U.S. corporate income tax reform, certain aspects of which apply to our business beginning in 2025. We continue to evaluate the impact the new legislation will have on our consolidated financial statements, but we do not expect a significant impact, inclusive of the effect of the valuation allowance on our U.S. deferred tax assets.

Current report

Customer support and operations expenses increased$17.3 million, or 21%, for the year ended December 31, 2025, compared to the year ended December 31, 2024, primarily driven by a $13.0 million increase in personnel-related costs.

Current report

General and administrative expenses increased $29.3 million, or 15%, for the year ended December 31, 2025, compared to the year ended December 31, 2024, primarily due to a $21.5 million increase in provisions related to the collectibility of amounts due from certain receivables and processing partners, as well as an aggregate $5.7 million increase in facilities costs, professional fees, and personnel-related costs.

Current report

Interest income decreased by an immaterial amount for the year ended December 31, 2025, as compared to the year ended December 31, 2024.

Current report

(2) As previously announced on February 19, 2025, our presentation of Adjusted EBITDA now excludes the impact of payroll taxes related to stock-based compensation expense, net. Prior period Adjusted EBITDA has been recast to reflect this change.

Current report

In July 2025, our board of directors approved a share repurchase program that provides for the repurchase of up to an aggregate of $200 million of our outstanding common stock. The program allows for share repurchases through open market transactions, in privately negotiated transactions, or by other means, in accordance with applicable securities laws and other restrictions, but does not obligate us to acquire any amount of common stock. The timing and total amount of share repurchases will be determined by us in our discretion and will depend on a variety of factors, including business, economic and market conditions, corporate and regulatory requirements, prevailing stock prices, alternative investment opportunities, and other considerations. During the year ended December 31, 2025, we repurchased $23.9 million of our common stock in open market transactions.

Current report

(1)Beginning in the fourth quarter of 2025, the Company changed the presentation of certain cash activity related to disbursement prefunding, customer funds receivable, customer liabilities, and trade settlement liability, from cash flows from operating activities to cash flows from financing activities within the line item ‘Net change in customer funds assets and liabilities.’ Prior period statements of cash flows and any commentary below have been conformed to the current period presentation to enhance transparency and provide comparability. For additional information, refer to Note 2. Basis of Presentation and Summary of Significant Accounting Policies of the notes to our consolidated financial statements included in Part II, Item 8 of this Annual Report on Form 10-K.

Current report

Net cash provided by operating activities for the year ended December 31,2025 was$325.1 million, an increase of $213.5 million compared to net cash provided by operating activities for the year ended December 31, 2024, primarily driven by a $104.9 million increase in net income, a $30.9 million change in accounts payable due to timing of payments, and a $21.2 million increase in operating lease liabilities, primarily related to our corporate headquarters.

Current report

Net cash provided by operating activities for the year ended December 31, 2024 was $111.6 million, an increase of $44.8 million compared to net cash provided by operating activities for the year ended December 31, 2023, primarily driven by an $80.9 million improvement in net loss, partially offset by a $48.4 million change in accounts payable due to timing of payments.

Current report

Net cash used in investing activities for theyear ended December 31, 2025 was$69.9 million, as compared to net cash used in investing activities for the year ended December 31, 2024 of $19.9 million. This change was primarily driven by a $25.9 million increase in originations from consumer receivables, net of collections, and a $23.4 million increase in purchases of property and equipment, primarily related to leasehold improvements for our corporate headquarters.

Current report

Net cash used in financing activities for the year ended December 31, 2025 was $89.8 million, as compared to net cash used in financing activities for the year ended December 31, 2024 of $42.4 million. This change was primarily driven by a net cash outflow in customer funds assets and liabilities of $208.7 million for the year ended December 31, 2025, as compared to a net cash inflow of $85.1 million in the prior period. Specifically, as a result of timing, cash outflows were impacted by increases in both disbursement prefunding and customer funds receivable, partially offset by increases in customer liabilities and trade settlement liabilities. Net cash used in financing activities was also impacted by a $21.7 million increase in cash paid for taxes related to net share settlement of equity awards and $23.9 million in cash paid for the repurchase of common stock in the year ended December 31, 2025. Financing activities for the year ended December 31, 2025 were partially offset by net borrowings on our revolving credit facilities of $155.0 million, as compared to net repayments of $130.0 million for the year ended December 31, 2024.

Previous report

Active customers increased to approximately 7.8 million, or 32% growth, for the three months ended December 31, 2024, compared to the three months ended December 31, 2023. This increase was primarily due to an increase in the number of new customers, driven by investments in our mobile app and efficient marketing spend, our focus on customer experience and how we serve our customers, expansion of our global disbursement network, and the continued diversification across both send and receive countries. While we continue to see strong results in our largest existing receive countries (India, Mexico, and the Philippines), our successful diversification of our corridor portfolio across both send and receive countries has contributed to new customer growth.

Previous report

Customer support and operations expenses increased$1.4 million, or 2%, for the year ended December 31, 2024, compared to the year ended December 31, 2023. The increase was primarily driven by a $1.0 million increase in personnel-related costs compared to the year ended December 31, 2023.

Previous report

General and administrative expenses increased $16.5 million, or 9%, for the year ended December 31, 2024, compared to the year ended December 31, 2023. The increase was primarily driven by a $24.4 million increase in personnel-related expenses resulting from a 24% increase in headcount compared to the year ended December 31, 2023. This was partially offset by $4.9 million decrease in professional fees, $4.3 million decrease in operational taxes, and a $2.0 million decrease in the fair market value of our charitable contributions related to our annual Pledge 1% donation.

Previous report

Interest income increased $0.6 million for the year ended December 31, 2024, as compared to the year ended December 31, 2023. The increase is primarily due to an increase in average invested balances throughout the year.

Previous report

For the year ended December 31, 2024, net cash provided by operating activities was $194.5 million, which was primarily driven by timing impacts of current growth in our global network. Specifically, as a result of both growth and timing, we saw an increase in cash flow due to customer funds working capital changes of $80.9 million related to combined customer funds receivable, customer liabilities, disbursement prefunding, and trade settlement liability. In addition to these and other changes in working capital, the cash generated from operations reflects the $37.0 million net loss for the period exclusive of the $173.2 million of noncash charges.

Previous report

For the year ended December 31, 2023, net cash used in operating activities was $53.6 million, which was primarily driven by an increase in overall growth in our global network of funding and disbursement partnerships, and an increase in volume of customer transactions. Specifically, as a result of both growth and timing, we saw an increase in disbursement prefunding of $31.8 million and customer funds receivable of $183.4 million, offset by an increase in customer liabilities of $61.7 million and accrued expenses and other liabilities, which is inclusive of our trade settlement liability, of $47.4 million, which were the key drivers for the unfavorable changes in our operating assets and liabilities of $91.2 million. This change in our operating assets and liabilities was also partially offset by cash generated from our operations, when excluding the $155.4 million of noncash charges included within the $117.8 million net loss for the period.

Previous report

Net cash used in investing activities was$50.0 million for theyear ended December 31, 2023, an increase of$42.7 million, compared to net cash used in investing activities of $7.3 million for theyear ended December 31, 2022. This increase was primarily driven by the acquisition of Rewire in the first quarter of 2023.

Previous report

We recognize transaction revenue on a gross basis as we are the principal for fulfilling payment transactions. As the principal to the transaction, we control the service of completing payments for our customers. We bear primary responsibility for the fulfillment of the payment service, are the merchant of record, contract directly with our customers, control the product specifications, and define the value proposition of our services. We are also responsible for providing customer support. Further, we have full discretion over determining the fee charged to our customers, which is independent of the cost we incur in instances where we may utilize payment processors or other financial institutions to perform services on our behalf. These fees paid to payment processors and other financial institutions are recognized as ‘Transaction expenses’ within the Consolidated Statements of Operations. We do not have any capitalized contract acquisition costs.
Reworded paragraphs (46)

Previous wording

For our remittance business, which represents substantially all of our revenue today, we generate revenue from transaction fees charged to customers and foreign exchange spreads applied to the amount the customer is sending.

Current wording

For our global money movement product, which currently represents the substantial majority of our revenue, we earn revenue from transaction fees charged to customers and foreign exchange spreads applied to the amount the customer is sending.

Previous wording

Revenue from transaction fees and foreign exchange spreads is reduced by customer promotions. For example, we may, from time to time, waive transaction fees for first-time customers, or provide customers with better foreign exchange rates on their first transaction. These incentives are accounted for as reductions to revenue, up to the point where net historical cumulative revenue, at the customer level, is reduced to zero. We consider these incentives to be an investment in our long-term relationship with customers.

Previous wording

Our send volume is primarily driven by existing customers who regularly use our remittance product to send money to family and friends. We believe our mobile-first products and superior customer experience encourage high retention and repeat usage, which are significant though not the only drivers of our performance.

Current wording

Our send volume is primarily driven by existing customers, who regularly use our global money movement product to send money across borders to family and friends, as well as an increasing number of high-amount senders and businesses. We believe our digital-first products and superior customer experience encourage high retention and repeat usage, which remain significant drivers of our performance.

Previous wording

We measure active customers to monitor the growth and performance of our customer base. The majority of our active customers send money for recurring, non-discretionary needs multiple times per month, providing a recurring revenue stream with high predictability and durability.

Current wording

We measure active customers to monitor the growth and performance of our customer base. The majority of our active customers send money for recurring, non-discretionary needs multiple times per month, providing a recurring revenue stream with high predictability and durability. Additionally, new customer categories, such as small- to mid-sized businesses, contribute often higher-value transactions as they send money to pay contractors, vendors, and employees.

Previous wording

Our continued ability to attract new customers is a key driver for our long-term growth. We continue to expand our customer base by launching new send and receive corridors, by continuing to innovate on existing and new products, and by providing the most trusted financial services for customers with cross-border financial needs. We plan to continue to acquire new customers through digital marketing channels and word-of-mouth referrals from existing customers, and by exploring new customer acquisition channels. Given the nature of our business, new customer acquisition marketing investments may negatively impact net loss and Adjusted EBITDA in the quarter they are acquired, but are expected to favorably impact net loss and Adjusted EBITDA in subsequent periods as many customers continue to send transactions in the periods after they are acquired.

Previous wording

Efficiently acquiring customers is critical to our growth and maintaining attractive customer economics, which are impacted by online marketing competition, our ability to effectively target the right demographic, and competitive environment. We have a history of successfully monitoring customer acquisition costs and will continue to be strategic and disciplined toward customer acquisition. For example, for performance marketing, we set rigorous customer acquisition targets that we continuously monitor to ensure a high return on investment over the long term, and we can increase or decrease this investment as desired. Customer acquisition costs, which are deployed to acquire new customers or retain existing customers in certain circumstances, are a component of advertising expenses as defined in Note 2. Basis of Presentation and Summary of Significant Accounting Policiesin the notes to the consolidated financial statements included in Part II, Item 8 of this Annual Report on Form 10-K.

Current wording

For performance marketing, we set rigorous customer acquisition targets that we continuously monitor to drive a high long-term return on investment, adjusting spend dynamically based on performance and opportunity. This disciplined approach allows us to balance growth with profitability and to redeploy investment efficiently across customer categories and products.

Previous wording

Our operating results and metrics are subject to seasonality, which may result in fluctuations in our quarterly revenues and operating results. For example, active customers and send volume generally peak as customers send gifts for regional and global holidays including, most notably, in the fourth quarter around the Christmas holiday. This seasonality typically drives higher fourth quarter customer acquisition, which generally results in higher fourth quarter marketing costs and transaction losses. It also results in higher transactions and transaction expenses, along with higher working capital needs. Other periods of favorable seasonality include Ramadan/Eid, Lunar New Year/Tết, and Mother’s Day, although the impact is generally lower than the seasonality we see in the fourth quarter and the timing of some of these holidays varies from year to year. Conversely, we typically observe lower customer acquisition and existing customer activity through most of the first quarter, especially in regions that experience favorable seasonality in the fourth quarter. Following the fourth quarter, typically the second quarter is seasonally the next strongest quarter from an existing customer activity perspective, however customer activity and the impact on financial results can vary across quarters based on the timing of holidays and other geographic drivers. Additionally, the number of business days in a quarter and the day of the week that the last day of the quarter falls on may also introduce variability in our results, working capital balances, or cash flows period over period.

Previous wording

We will continue to invest significant resources in our technology. These investments will allow us to introduce new and innovative products, add features to current products, enhance the customer and recipient experience, grow our payment and disbursement network, invest in our risk and security infrastructure, and continue to secure data in accordance with evolving best practices and legal requirements. While we expect our expenses related to technology and development to increase, which may impact short-term profitability, we believe these investments will ultimately contribute to our long-term growth.

Current wording

We continue to invest significant resources in our technology to support the development of new and innovative products, add features to existing offerings, and enhance the customer and recipient experience. The investments also grow our payment and disbursement network, strengthen our risk and security infrastructure, and maintain data protection in accordance with evolving best practices and legal requirements. We are also embedding data analytics and AI across our platform to improve automation, enhance scalability, and drive long-term operating efficiency. We believe these investments in technology and development capabilities will ultimately contribute to our long-term growth.

Previous wording

We manage fraud (e.g., through identity theft) and other illegitimate activity (e.g., money laundering) by utilizing our proprietary risk models, which include machine learning processes, early warning systems, bespoke rules, and manual investigation processes. Our models and processes enable us to identify and address complex and evolving risks in these unwanted activities, while maintaining a differentiated customer experience. In addition, we integrate historical fraud loss data and other transaction data into our risk models, which helps us identify emerging patterns and quantify fraud and compliance risks across all aspects of our customer interactions. These models and processes allow us to achieve and maintain fraud loss rates within desired guardrails, as well as tune our risk models to target other illegitimate activity.

Previous wording

Global macroeconomic and geopolitical factors, including inflation, currency fluctuations, immigration and immigration policy, regulatory changes, trade and regulatory policies, regional and global conflicts, global crises and natural disasters, unemployment, potential recession, and the rate of digital remittance adoption impact demand for our services and the options that we can offer. These factors evolve over time, and periods of significant currency appreciation or depreciation, whether in send or receive currencies, changes to global migration patterns or immigration policy, and changes to digital adoption trends may shift the timing and volume of transactions, or the number of customers using our service. In addition, foreign currency movements impact our business in numerous ways. For example, as the U.S. dollar strengthens, we see customers in certain geographies taking advantage of the ability to get more local currency to their families and friends. We also believe the strength of the U.S. dollar and the strength of other developed country currencies versus emerging country currencies make it easier to acquire new customers in certain geographies. Conversely, expansion of our international business can negatively impact our consolidated results when these currencies weaken against the U.S. dollar. As we grow, we are becoming more diversified across geographies and currencies, which can help mitigate some localized geopolitical risks and macroeconomic trends. As foreign currency can have a significant impact on our business, we strive to maintain a diversified cash balance portfolio and frequently assess for foreign currency cash concentrations. Refer to Note 2. Basis of Presentation and Summary of Significant Accounting Policies in the notes to the consolidated financial statements included in Part II, Item 8 of this Annual Report on Form 10-K for a more comprehensive description of current business concentrations.

Previous wording

Revenue increased $319.7 million, or 34%, for the year ended December 31, 2024, compared to the year ended December 31, 2023. The increase was primarily driven by a 32% increase in active customers period over period, continued strength in the retention of existing customers, favorable customer behavior based on foreign currency movement, and a continued mix shift trending towards digital disbursements. Revenue derived from each transaction varies based on a number of attributes, including the funding method chosen by the customer, the size of the transaction, the currency to be ultimately disbursed, the rate at which the currency was disbursed, the disbursement method chosen by the customer, and the country to which the funds are transferred.

Our future capital requirements will depend on many factors, including our rate of revenue growth, the expansion of our sales and marketing activities, the timing and extent of expansion into new corridors, and the timing of introductions of new products and enhancements of existing products, and other strategic investments. Furthermore, certain jurisdictions where we operate require us to hold eligible liquid assets, based on regulatory or legal requirements, equal to the aggregate amount of all customer balances that have not yet been disbursed. In addition, as discussed elsewhere in this Annual Report on Form 10-K, we expect that our operating expenses may continue to increase to support the continued growth of our business, including increased investments in our technology to support product improvements, new product development, and geographic expansion. We also routinely enter into marketing and advertising contracts, software subscriptions and other service arrangements, including cloud infrastructure arrangements, which are generally entered into in the ordinary course of business, and that can include minimum purchase quantities, requiring us to utilize cash on hand to fulfill these amounts. Refer to “Contractual Obligations and Commitments” discussed further below.

Global macroeconomic and geopolitical factors, including inflation, currency fluctuations, immigration and immigration policy, regulatory changes, trade and regulatory policies, including imposition of trade restrictions, taxes and tariffs, and any related market or economic uncertainty or slowdown, regional and global conflicts, global crises and natural disasters, unemployment, potential recession, and the rate of digital cross-border payment adoption impact demand for our services and the options that we can offer. These factors evolve over time, and periods of significant currency appreciation or depreciation, whether in send or receive currencies, changes to global migration patterns, immigration policy, or international trade, and changes to digital adoption trends may shift the timing and volume of transactions, or the number of customers using our service. We continue to assess the impact of developments in foreign trade policy, including taxes and tariffs, and global market conditions. While the imposition of tariffs has not had a significant impact on our business historically, we recognize there is a potential for indirect effects, particularly from foreign exchange volatility to which we are exposed due to the global nature of our cross-border payment operations.

Customers engage us to perform one integrated service—collect the customer’s money and deliver funds to the intended recipient in the currency requested. Payment is generally due from the customer upfront upon initiation of a transaction, when the customer simultaneously agrees to our terms and conditions.

Revenue is derived from each transaction and varies based on the funding method chosen by the customer, the size of the transaction, the currency to be ultimately disbursed, the rate at which the currency was purchased, the disbursement method chosen by the customer, and the country to which the funds are transferred.

Therefore, our contracts are defined at the transaction level and do not extend beyond the service already provided.
