About

Founder of BatuaX. Building the remittance app for the Indian and British communities in the US. I moved from India and got tired of paying $35 to send $500 to my parents - slow transfers, bad FX, sneaky fees. Wise, Remitly, Xoom all charge for high hidden fees. So I'm building it. BatuaX = US → India & UK, $0 fees on every transfer, instant bank deposits, mid-market rates. No fine print. Pre-launch. Always down to chat with founders, immigrants, and anyone fixing broken finance.

I built a way to send money home just by texting — would love your honest take before I launch

Hey all
I'm Pratik, building BatuaX (Batua means wallet in Hindi).

 

People in the US still lose 3 5% and wait days to send money home to family and every "fix" is yet another app nobody downloads.
So I tried the opposite: send money home right inside WhatsApp. No app, you text how much, confirm with a PIN, and family gets it in minutes, straight to their bank account.
