As a gesture of solidarity with the flood-affected people in Sri Lanka, Remitr has undertaken an initiative to contribute to flood relief aid in cooperation with the High Commission of Sri Lanka in Toronto.

As part of the flood relief initiative, Remitr will contribute $10 to the flood relief, for every remittance to Sri Lanka during June and July done through Remitr. As an added benefit Remitr has waived off transfer fees (normally $4) for all transfers to Sri Lanka.
