The money remittance market is a very interesting problem. The key to understanding why moneygram is still around is by getting a good understanding of global banking and associated regulation & fees along with top immigration/immigration corridors and consumer behaviour in these corridors.

Most money transfers happen from a stable high net worth economies (USA,UK,Germany, UAE, Saudi Arabia) to growing economies(India, Mexico, Brazil, Philippines) and following the emmigration/immigration corridor.

The money transfer market is more akin to a marketplace with disparate sender-receiver situations. Sender banking infrastructure typically is more sophisticated but disjointed with the receivers banking infrastructure.
