Анотація
Introduction. In the global economy, people migrate between regions or countries in searching better life. The migration is beneficial for both the country of origin and the host country. Economic benefits consist in sending money by migrants’ home through various remittance channels such as commercial banks, cash money market, electronic transfers. That is why the lack of access to regular financial services is a significant challenge to the economic independence of migrants and their self-sufficiency.
