Family Friday, which falls on the last Friday before Christmas, is the money transfer peak in a month in which £650 million is set to be sent abroad by those anxious to share their wealth with loved ones.
It is believed that more than 162,000 people in the UK, many of them Zimbabweans, will use money transfer services to give everything from the gift of financial security to a special seasonal treat over the festive period.
This global currency of giving makes a positive contribution at its origin and destination. The most generous nationalities are led by Romania, Bulgaria, Nigeria and India.
