Since 2018, the Belgian government is working with a network of stakeholders (migrants and diaspora groups, civil society, the  National Bank) to build a better knowledge and receive some transparency on remittances sent from Belgium to the countries of origin in order to take appropriate measures to reduce the costs of remittances. 

The Belgian government also supports a mobile application developed by IOM (called “MigApp”) which aims at providing reliable information to migrants. One of its component is the “Money Transfer” feature. The remittance comparison feature allows the user to find the cheapest and fastest way to send money home using the available money transfer operators
