Do you (/anyone reading this) know if TapTapSend is for-profit (/whether they're just using their current profits to scale but have hopes of slashing fees once they do so)?
I know very little about the business model of remittance companies, but from two seconds' worth of thought, this seems like an area where a nonprofit could try to undercut the market and provide a massive public good.
Hi Barth, my very quick take would be that (if you hadn't already done so) there may be merits to reaching out to a careers advising org such as 80K Hours. I intuitively imagine that there are quite a few organizations that would benefit from either hiring or receiving advising from someone of your expertise, and that (e.g.,) 80K would be able to point you in the right direction.
Copy-pasting a comment I made after a careers event I ran* an events org (*edit: reread this and realized I was illiterate) for EA Sydney (some of which may be relevant to you):

I have some hesitations about supporting Richard Hanania given what I understand of his views and history. But in the same way I would say I support *example economic policy* of *example politician I don't like* if I believed it was genuinely good policy, I think I should also say that I found this article of Richard's quite warming.
Kudos to you for taking such a serious pay cut to work on something you feel is important. 'Made me laugh' reacting only because reading 'I yearn for the diamond emoji' did make me chuckle.
