Remittances entering the Dominican Republic took more than one day to be processed in 2024, a figure that was much higher if cash or bank account transfers were involved. This is according to a Statista estimate that aims to compare the transaction speed listed for different international money transfer channels across the world. Generally, digital remittance tend to process remittances much faster. The figures shown here have originally been gathered by the World Bank using mystery shopping. "Traditional end-to-end" and "digital to traditional" are categories assigned by Statista, and refer to the payment method used at the remittance sending side and the method used when receiving. "Traditional" refers to cash and bank account transfers, while "Digital" includes everything that does not involve these (e.g., cards, mobile wallets, mobile money, etc.). In this statistic, the categories "traditional to digital" and "digital end-to-end" have been excluded, as there were not enough channels to use these. In the case of the Dominican Republic, the "traditional end-to-end" and "digital to traditional" covered all recorded channels since 2016.

Figures are based on the remittance channels that exist in a remittance sending and/or receiving country.
Supplementary notes
The figures provided have been calculated by Statista based off the Remittance Prices Worldwide from the World Bank and a methodology shared in a report from the OMFIF. This source reports the remittance channels that exist in a remittance sending and/or receiving country. The figures are shown are therefore not based off the number of remittances or the transaction value of remittances.
The World Bank launched a work group in 2023 to standardize remittance data in the future and better map out the topic. This includes an attempt at providing more detailed remittance flow information. The initial results of this work group are expected in the second half of 2024. More information can be found here.
