TL;DR
SBI Remit Co., Ltd. is the international remittance business company of the SBI group, a type-II funds-transfer operator registered with the FSA (type-II funds-transfer operator under 資金決済法). It registered upon the entry into force of the Payment Services Act in 2010 年, and started business from small-value international remittances of 100 万円or less per 1 transaction. Through partnerships with MoneyGram and others, it has a remittance network covering more than 220 countries and regions worldwide. It carries high importance for remittances aimed at foreign residents and migrant workers, and for its connection with regional financial institutions and banking-agency business.

2. Operating model
SBI Remit provides Japan-originated international remittances, centered on the usage scenarios of immigrants and resident foreigners. Its distinctive feature is expanding its footprint through partnerships with banks and regional financial institutions (e.g., SBI Shinsei Bank, tie-ups with regional banks), which makes it useful for tracking bank-fintech remittance coordination under ISO 20022 and AML/CFT pressure. Because it is grounded in the type-II funds-transfer framework (small-value remittance), it can be contrasted with the agent-network-centric Western Union and the digital-first Wise.
