The arrangement marks the first bilateral retail remittance relationship with Bank in USA for Axis Bank thereby providing a further edge to the bank's NRI Proposition in the region. With this arrangement in place, Axis Bank's NRI customers can send remittances to their accounts in India 24×7 through Wells Fargo's "ExpressSend Service", after due enrollment in the service. The customer can send remittances either at Wells Fargo's branches, on phone or online at www.wellsfargo.com.
