π‘ Mercy Corps pilot: 62% faster transfers, 12% more recipients reached, 10.8% lower costs using SigmaRemoteβs stablecoin infrastructure.
π GLOBAL, June 17, 2025 β
SigmaRemote, a global payroll automation platform, has launched dedicated stablecoin payment infrastructure for NGOs, enabling up to 80% cost savings and dramatically faster aid delivery across 180+ countries.
πΈ Traditional Banking Drains NGO Budgets
NGOs routinely face:
5β7% remittance and FX fees
3β5 business day delays
Burdensome local compliance for international payouts
The World Bank reports sending $200 to Mexico costs $9.61 (4.8%) using traditional channels. Blockchain equivalents cost just $1β$2.
"NGOs operate on razor-thin budgets but face the same banking pain as Fortune 500s," said Kevin Jaspal, CEO of SigmaRemote.
"We help preserve every dollar for mission impact β not bank profits."
