Consider the following scenario:
- M needs to transfer money from a bank account in Malaysia to a bank account in Thailand
- T needs to transfer money from a bank account in Thailand to a bank account in Malaysia
- They both go to a bank/Western Union to make the transfer and get charged service fees and exchange rate costs
Consider an alternative scenario:
- M needs to transfer money from a bank account in Malaysia to a bank account in Thailand
- T needs to transfer money from a bank account in Thailand to a bank account in Malaysia
- M transfers money to T's bank account in Malaysia
- T transfers money to M's bank account in Thailand
- That would be ideal if the amount transferred match exactly
- Enter X who has accounts in Malaysia and Thailand
- M transfers money to X's account in Malaysia
- T transfers money to X's account in Thailand
- X transfers money to M's account in Thailand
- X transfers money to T's account in Malaysia
- X provides two service:
- Escrow
- Market matching
Essentially, I should be able to transfer money between Thailand and Malaysia cheaply.
