Its time to fund the account!
User can then opt to use their bank account to fund their online remittance account for say US$ 250. This funding can be done
via ACH.

Another way of making this transaction happen quicker is for either the Sending or Receiving MTO to prefund the account based on ACH information provided (Xoom for example does
this for all their ACH based transactions). The MTOs are essentially underwriting the risk of the transaction against NSF.

Equivalent Bitcoins for US$ 100 are calculated. For this example, let us assume the amount is 0.5 BTC

The MTO now has an account with a Bitcoin exchange and is able to purchase 0.5 BTC (which equals US$ 100) immediately.
The purchased Bitcoin goes into the “Sending” MTOs wallet.

Because the transaction has been booked by the Sender (User), the faster the Bitcoins can be bought and exchanged the better it is. The 0.5BTC is transferred into Sending MTO’s
Bitcoin Wallet into the Receiving MTO’s Bitcoin Wallet

Because the issue is of trust, the best way to confirm the transaction is to scan the blockchain (some Bitcoin Remittance
companies take this approach, others don’t). From the blockchain you would be able to see 0.5BTC transaction from
Sending MTO’s Wallet to Receiving MTO’s Wallet.

The back-end systems then communicate with each other. Transaction details exchanged are (but not limited to): remitter information, beneficiary
information, IP, $ Value, Transaction ID, address, telephone numbers, other comments, etc.
This is usually communicated via API.

The back-end systems of both the MTOs will talk again, this time the Receiving MTO will update its own records and the records of the Sending MTO, giving details on the completion of the transaction.

One common question asked is What happens to the Bitcoins received by the Receiving MTO?
In most cases, these are sold back into either local or international exchanges to top-up their pre-fund accounts from which they are paying out.

Another method to is for the recipient MTO to scan the blockchain once the coins have been received into their wallet and only then conduct the transaction further.
Sometimes Multi-sig wallets are used for this purpose.
