I was not aware of the AfD when it had taken place, and was horrified to see that a highly notable remittance was deleted like this without any consultations with specialists. To remittance specialists, this is the equivalent of Venmo being deleted by someone who only knows about PayPal. While I appreciate DGG's hard work cleaning up spam, Remitly is not one of them. It's highly frustrating for specialists like me who study and compare how developing countries receive funds from individuals and SMEs in other countries.
This is a very well known service for people in North America who frequently transfer funds to Latin America, Asia, and Africa.
And just in case you're wondering I have absolutely no connection to any online remittance companies. There is zero COI involved on my part. I study how international remittances affect developing countries, and am looking at this from an economics geek's perspective.
Hence, I will be recreating this article soon. Please note that I have created other remittance company articles before, and have absolutely no connection with the original article creator. If there are any objections, please discuss here.

Hey there! I'm back to make a minor request: can someone change the "Traded as" infobox field to reflect that Remitly is listed as RELY on the Nasdaq exchange, not AIM? I'll add a citation here[1], just to be thorough.

Because I work for Remitly and have a conflict of interest, I won’t be making direct edits to the article. user:MSteinburg, you might be interested in making this fix, but obviously anybody else without a conflict of interest is welcome to help out. Thanks! JM at Remitly (talk) 16:22, 17 May 2022 (UTC)

Hey there, Wikipedia editors. I'm taking over outreach on behalf of Remitly for User:JM at Remitly. I noticed that a freshly created Wikipedia editor account, User:Rubengrcgrc, recently added an entirely new section called Applied security to this article. The information in this section is mostly accurate, but the cited source is a sketchy financial site called FinanceGrowZone. Given this context, would it make sense to delete this section? I didn't feel comfortable doing so myself since I work for Remitly and have a conflict of interest. Tagging User:MSteinburg since you've helped with previous requests. Thank you!
