How your support makes a difference when sending money to Haiti

Sending money to Haiti isn't just a financial transaction. It's a powerful way to support loved ones and strengthen communities across borders. Your support provides essential resources that help families thrive despite economic challenges.

When you send money from the United States to Haiti, you're making a direct, meaningful impact on people's daily lives. Every transfer represents care and connection that transcends distance, helping build a stronger future for the people who matter most.

Haiti at a glance

Haiti faces significant economic challenges that make financial support from the Haitian community essential for daily survival. Remittances help families afford basic needs like food, housing and medical care when local job opportunities are limited.

Ways to get funds where they're needed

Several money transfer services exist, each with different costs, speeds and convenience levels. Your choice depends on how quickly your family needs the money and what pickup options work best for them.

Direct bank transfers

Bank transfers move money directly from your account to your recipient's bank account in Haiti. This method typically takes 1-3 business days to complete and requires your recipient to have a bank account.

Banks often charge both transfer fees and currency exchange margins, so compare total costs before sending money from Haiti. Some banks also require additional paperwork or verification steps that can slow down the process.

Mobile apps and digital services

Digital money transfer services let you send money using your smartphone in just a few taps. These apps often offer competitive exchange rates and low transfer fees in select countries, with many transfers arriving within minutes.

Mobile money solutions make it easy to track your transfer in real-time and receive notifications when your recipient picks up the funds. You can send money anytime, anywhere, without visiting a physical location.

Smart tips for secure transactions

Protecting your money and personal information requires careful attention to details and choosing trustworthy providers. Small mistakes in recipient information can delay transfers or send money to the wrong person.

Double-checking account details

Always verify your recipient's information before confirming any transfer:

Full name: Make sure spelling matches their official ID exactly
Phone number: Confirm the number is active and belongs to your recipient
Pickup location: Choose a convenient spot they can easily reach

Contact your family member directly to confirm their information matches what you’ve entered. Even small spelling errors can cause delays or failed transfers.

Trusting reputable providers

Choose a trustworthy money transfer service like Sendwave that is licensed and regulated in your country and Haiti. Licensed providers follow strict security rules to protect your money and personal data.

Look for these safety features when selecting a service:

Customer support: Available when you need help with transfers
Tracking capabilities: Real-time updates on your money's status
Regulatory compliance: Licensed to operate in both countries

Supporting day-to-day needs

Small, regular transfers help Haitian families buy groceries, pay for transportation and cover utility bills. This consistent support reduces financial stress and lets families focus on work, school and building better lives.

Even modest amounts can make a huge difference in covering essential expenses. Your support provides stability that helps families plan for the future and invest in better opportunities.

Funding education and healthcare

Money from abroad often pays for school fees, uniforms, and medical treatments that Haitian families couldn't otherwise afford. Your support might help a child attend École Nationale in Port-au-Prince or cover essential medications at Hôpital de l'Université d'État d'Haïti. When children stay in school and families can access healthcare, entire neighborhoods in places like Carrefour and Delmas benefit.

This creates positive changes that extend far beyond individual families:

Better education: More children completing school and developing skills needed for Haiti's growing tourism and agricultural sectors
Improved health: Families accessing preventive care and treatments at local clinics like Hôpital Saint Damien
Economic growth: Educated, healthy community members contributing to local development and Haiti's vibrant cultural economy
