The fund transfer functions through an electronic network of banks, financial institutions, brokers and individual traders. Forex also finds extensive applications for transferring funds to support the exchange of various goods and services between nations.

Growing urbanization and digitalization in both the emerging and developed economies are among the key factors driving the growth of the market.
