Market Validation
📊 The Problem
- • Chinese Australians send billions to family in China each year
- • Big banks charge $18-22 per transfer + hide 2-3% in exchange rate markup
- • Most comparison tools (Monito, FXcompared) target Europe/US corridors
- • No AU→China focused tool that speaks Chinese and considers WeChat Pay/Alipay
- • Average family sending $2K/mo loses $800+/year using the wrong provider
🎯 Unfair Advantage
- • Bilingual English/Chinese — can serve both communities natively
- • Data analysis skills to build automated rate tracking & comparison
- • 685K Mandarin speakers in AU as primary target market
- • Affiliate/lead-gen revenue model (referral commissions from providers)
- • Can integrate WeChat notification & WeChat Mini Program distribution
