Executive Summary

Veloxpays is an AUSTRAC-licensed Australian Money Transfer Operator serving the Indian and Bangladeshi diaspora. With the licence approved, the operator needed to launch immediately — not spend another year building technology. Using RemitSo's white-label PaaS platform, Veloxpays went from licensed to live in 6 weeks: branded iOS and Android apps in both app stores, web portal active, full AML/KYC compliance operational, and two payout corridors open on day one.

Key Decision

After evaluating custom development ($250K+, 18 months) and competing white-label providers, Veloxpays chose RemitSo's PaaS — AUSTRAC-ready compliance included, zero engineering team required.

The Challenge
Build-it-yourself was never an option

Entering the Australian remittance market under AUSTRAC means compliance infrastructure must be ready from day one. For a new entrant, building it meant 18 months and $250K+ before processing a single transfer.

  • AUSTRAC Compliance from Day One — AML/CTF Program, KYC, transaction monitoring, and SAR filing must all be operational before the first customer sends money.
  • Multi-Channel Expectation — Customers expect both a mobile app and a web portal. Offering only one channel means surrendering market share immediately.
  • Capital Constraints — Building separate web and mobile systems with a full compliance stack was financially impossible for a new operator.
  • Speed to Market — Competitors were already operational. Every week of delay is permanent market share surrendered.
