The PosTransfer system envisages collection and payment of money transfers through the branch networks of postal operators, using various means of telecommunication, including mobile applications.

The rest of member countries of UPU are expected to join PosTransfer later. The Universal Postal Union is an international intergovernmental organization and a UN agency that includes 193 countries.
