# Fee-Free Remittance Programs Quippi Offers Sharing Income in an Ethical and Fair Way By Social Business Editor | Published 2014-05-13 | Social Good Source: Trend Hunter, https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/quippi References: [plus.google](https://plus.google.com/%20Quippi/about) & [quippi](https://www.quippi.com) Quippi Corporation is a social enterprise that allows immigrants in the United States to share their income with their friends and families in Mexico in a safe, secure, fast and fee-free way. Remittances tend to have a huge economic impact on the worldwide economy but especially on families in developing countries who are trying to make ends meet. "Basically, instead of wiring money—and paying a hefty fee to do so–consumers send gift cards accepted by popular stores in Mexico that they buy without forking over extra money," [said Forbes contributor](http://www.forbes.com/sites/annefield/2014/05/13/attracting-venture-capital-by-not-abusing-immigrants/) Anne Field. "Also Quippi doesn’t hide additional charges through currency exchange rates." **Contact Information** Quippi [website](https://www.quippi.com) Quippi on [Facebook](https://www.facebook.com/Quippi) Quippi on [Twitter](https://twitter.com/quippi) Quippi on [YouTube](https://www.youtube.com/user/QuippiUSA) Quippi on [LinkedIn](https://www.linkedin.com/company/quippi?trk=top_nav_home) Quippi on [Google+](https://plus.google.com/+Quippi/about) ## Trend Insights (Trend Hunter) - Score: 5.4/10 - Popularity: 57% | Activity: 96% | Freshness: 8% - Audience gender: 50% men, 50% women - Primary generations: Millennial, Gen X - Top markets: North America, South America ## Categories [Trend Hunter](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends) > [Social Good](https://www.trendhunter.com/socialgood) > [Social Business](https://www.trendhunter.com/socialbusiness) ## Key Themes ### Key Themes Behind This Trend - **Remittance Innovation:** Quippi's fee-free remittance program revolutionizes the traditional money wiring process, presenting a disruptive opportunity in the remittance industry. - **Social Sharing Economy:** Quippi's income sharing model highlights the potential for disruptive innovation in the social sharing economy, providing a fair and ethical way for immigrants to support their families. - **Alternative Payment Methods:** Quippi's use of gift cards as an alternative to traditional remittance methods opens up the potential for disruptive innovation in the payment industry, reducing fees and hidden charges. ### Where This Applies - **Remittance Services:** Quippi's fee-free program challenges the remittance industry norms, presenting a disruptive innovation opportunity for companies in the remittance services sector. - **Social Impact:** Quippi's social sharing model creates opportunities for disruptive innovation in industries focused on positive social impact and financial inclusion. - **Payment Solutions:** Quippi's use of gift cards as an alternative payment method presents a disruptive innovation opportunity for companies in the payment solutions industry, particularly in the realm of cross-border transactions. ## Related on Trend Hunter - [Crypto-Gifting Payment Apps](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/cryptogifting-payment-app.md) - [Fee-Saving Payment Apps](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/robinpay-app.md) - [Cross-Border Remittance Features](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/e-egypt.md) - [Global Money-Managing Apps](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/zing.md) - [Effortless Group Payment Tools](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/tabbit.md) - [Shared Expense Managers](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/paymates.md) - [Cash-Gifting Greeting Cards](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/hallmark-venmo-cards.md) - [Fair Expense Sharing](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/heypenny.md) - [Home Savings-Focused Partnerships](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/save-for-a-home.md)
