Executive Summary

Founded in 2015, Rewire provides digital banking services for migrant workers, digital nomads, and other expatriates. The market for financial services for migrant workers is estimated to be at least $1 trillion. The initial service offering was cross-border remittances, focusing on a combination of low fees and an easy-to-use smartphone user interface. The company’s service offering will be expanding in the short-term to include savings accounts and credit, and the company aims to expand further in 2021 to provide bill payments and insurance.

Rewire has strategic partnerships with Standard Bank, Africa’s largest bank, which is also a co-investor. BNP Paribas is also a co-investor.

Key Financial Highlights:

KPIs have grown rapidly each year by more than 100%, including growth in registered customers to 200,000 and active users to 50,000. Annualized revenue and remittance volumes have also accelerated as a result of COVID, driven by a rapidly increasing digitization among migrants.

Annualized revenue, which reached $7.4M in March, hit $17M in August, surpassing the company’s $15M target for 2020. The company expects annualized revenue to reach $30M and $60M in 2021 and 2022, respectively.

Investing Options:

Frequently Asked Questions

If you’re seeking an answer to a question you have, please don’t hesitate toget in touch

How are the investments and products featured on this website sourced ?

We have an extensive track record of working with financial institutions, property developers, fund managers, and investment companies worldwide, as well as a strong network which informs us of upcoming opportunities. We are regularly approached by investment promoters and select the best ones to feature on the Smile FS website and newsletters.

Does Smile FS provide financial advice ?

No. We provide information about the products and investments featured, we will answer any questions you have about them, and we will help you to access or buy them, but we do not provide personalised financial advice. We give you the information you need to make an informed decision, and you make your own decision. In some cases, we can put you in direct contact with a senior person at the relevant company or financial institution.

How does Smile FS make money ?

We often receive payments from third party financial institutions and investment managers when we feature a product and/or when someone makes an investment or purchase following our involvement. The amounts we receive can vary greatly depending on the type of investment or product that it is, and in some circumstances we may receive non-cash remuneration which helps us deliver a great service, for example pre-allocation to certain investment opportunities. We do not receive payment for everything featured, and we do not feature everything we are offered payment for featuring. Ultimately, we make money by being paid some of the time, and recommended by our users every time.

What checking or due diligence is done on the investments featured by Smile FS ?

We go through a thorough due diligence process for each and every investment opportunity before featuring it, and only feature it if we are satisfied with the results of our research. We make sure that it is a genuine opportunity, has complied with all applicable laws and regulations, and is something which will benefit investors and also our reputation. We decline to feature more often than we feature, to keep the quality high and not waste your time with below-par investments.

What are the fees and/or charges ?

Each product or investment featured on the Smile FS website is different, and therefore some may have different costs than others. In many cases there are no fees or charges, but this is not always the case. If there are any applicable fees or charges these will be clearly stated. Smile FS itself does not charge any application fees, management fees, or consultancy fees.

Can you help me invest in something which isn’t featured on the Smile FS website ?

That depends on what you’re trying to invest in – if we can help, we will help. Our ability to help may be dependent on whether or not the relevant financial institution will provide information to us and/or the knowledge of our team about that particular investment – if we are not confident that we can provide you 100% accurate information, we will say so and decline. Either way, all you have to do is ask us.
