| Accounting Policies [Abstract] | |
| Basis of Presentation | Basis of Presentation The accompanying unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements have been prepared in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America (“GAAP”) and applicable rules and regulations of the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission (the “SEC”) regarding interim financial reporting. The year-end data within the Condensed Consolidated Balance Sheets was derived from audited financial statements, but does not include all disclosures required by GAAP and therefore the information included in this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q should be read in conjunction with the historical audited annual consolidated financial statements and related notes included in the Company’s Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2025. The accompanying unaudited interim condensed consolidated financial statements have been prepared on the same basis as the audited consolidated financial statements and, in the opinion of management, reflect all adjustments of a normal recurring nature considered necessary to state fairly the Company’s consolidated financial position, results of operations, comprehensive income, and cash flows for the interim periods. The interim results for the three months ended March 31, 2026 are not necessarily indicative of the results that may be expected for the year ending December 31, 2026, or for any other future annual or interim period.

| Principles of Consolidation | Principles of Consolidation The condensed consolidated financial statements include the accounts of Remitly Global, Inc. and its wholly-owned subsidiaries. All intercompany transactions and balances have been eliminated in consolidation.
|
| Reclassification | Reclassification The condensed consolidated financial statements and notes have been prepared consistently, with the exception of the reclassification of certain prior year amounts within the Company’s Condensed Consolidated Statements of Cash Flows. Reclassifications include a change in presentation of certain cash activity related to customer funds assets and liabilities, which is comprised of disbursement prefunding, customer funds receivable, customer liabilities, and trade settlement liability included within the line item ‘Accrued expenses and other current liabilities’ on the Consolidated Balance Sheets. Certain components of this activity were reclassified from cash flows from operating activities to cash flows from financing activities, reflected within the line item ‘Net change in customer funds assets and liabilities’ on the Condensed Consolidated Statements of Cash Flows. This change resulted in a decrease in cash flows from operating activities of $52.1 million for the three months ended March 31, 2025, offset by a corresponding change in cash flows from financing activities. In addition, certain other immaterial amounts in the prior period Condensed Consolidated Statements of Cash Flows were reclassified. The Company has conformed the prior period Condensed Consolidated Statements of Cash Flows to the current period presentation to enhance transparency and provide comparability. These reclassifications did not affect the Company’s Condensed Consolidated Statements of Operations, Condensed Consolidated Statements of Comprehensive Income, Condensed Consolidated Balance Sheets, or Condensed Consolidated Statements of Stockholders’ Equity.

| Use of Estimates | Use of Estimates The preparation of the accompanying condensed consolidated financial statements requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the amounts reported and disclosed within the condensed consolidated financial statements and accompanying notes. These estimates and assumptions include, but are not limited to, revenue recognition including the treatment of sales incentive programs, reserves for transaction losses, allowance for credit losses, stock-based compensation expense, the carrying value of operating lease right-of-use assets and operating lease liabilities, the recoverability of deferred tax assets, capitalization of software development costs, goodwill, and intangible assets. The key assumptions applied for the value of the intangible assets include revenue growth rates for a hypothetical market participant, selected discount rates, as well as migration curves for developed technology. The Company bases its estimates on historical experience and on assumptions that management considers reasonable. Actual results could differ from these estimates and assumptions, and these differences could be material to the condensed consolidated financial statements.

| Concentration of Credit Risk | Concentration of Credit Risk Financial instruments that potentially expose the Company to concentrations of credit risk consist primarily of cash and cash equivalents, disbursement prefunding, restricted cash, and customer funds receivable. The Company maintains cash and cash equivalents and restricted cash balances that may exceed the insured limits by the Federal Deposit Insurance Corporation. In addition, the Company funds its international operations using accounts with institutions in the major countries where its subsidiaries operate. The Company also prefunds amounts which are held by its disbursement partners, which are typically located in India, Mexico, and the Philippines. The Company has not experienced any significant losses on its deposits of cash and cash equivalents, disbursement prefunding, restricted cash, or customer funds receivable in the three months ended March 31, 2026 and 2025.

| Recent Accounting Pronouncements | Recent Accounting Pronouncements Recently Adopted Accounting Pronouncements None. Accounting Pronouncements Not Yet Adopted There have been no changes to the Company’s new accounting pronouncements not yet adopted as discussed in Note 2. Basis of Presentation and Summary of Significant Accounting Policies within the notes to the consolidated financial statements included in the Company’s Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2025. There are other new accounting pronouncements issued by the Financial Accounting Standards Board (“FASB”) that the Company has adopted or will adopt, as applicable. The Company does not believe any of these accounting pronouncements have had, or will have, a material impact on the condensed consolidated financial statements or disclosures.

| Revenue | Revenue The Company’s primary source of revenue is generated from its global money movement product. Revenue is earned from transaction fees charged to customers and the foreign exchange spreads earned between the foreign exchange rate offered to customers and the foreign exchange rate on the Company’s currency purchases. Revenue is recognized, in an amount that reflects the consideration the Company expects to be entitled to in exchange for services provided, when control of these services is transferred to the Company’s customers, which is the time the funds have been delivered to the intended recipient. The Company accounts for revenue in accordance with Accounting Standards Codification (“ASC”) 606, Revenue from Contracts with Customers, which includes the following steps: (1)identification of the contract with a customer; (2)identification of the performance obligations in the contract; (3)determination of the transaction price; (4)allocation of the transaction price to the performance obligations in the contract; and (5)recognition of revenue when, or as, the Company satisfies a performance obligation. For the Company’s global money movement product, customers engage the Company to perform one integrated service—collect the customer’s money and deliver funds to the intended recipient in the currency requested. Payment is generally due from the customer upfront upon initiation of a transaction, when the customer simultaneously agrees to the Company’s terms and conditions. Revenue is derived from each transaction and varies based on the funding method chosen by the customer, the size of the transaction, the currency to be ultimately disbursed, the rate at which the currency was purchased, the disbursement method chosen by the customer, and the country to which the funds are transferred. The Company’s contract with customers can be terminated by the customer without a termination penalty up until the time the funds have been delivered to the intended recipient. Therefore, the Company’s contracts are defined at the transaction level and do not extend beyond the service already provided. The Company’s global money movement product comprises of a single performance obligation to complete transactions for the Company’s customers. Using compliance and risk assessment tools, the Company performs a transaction risk assessment on individual transactions to determine whether a transaction should be accepted. When the Company accepts a transaction and processes the designated payment method of the customer, the Company becomes obligated to its customer to complete the payment transaction, at which time a receivable is recorded, along with a corresponding customer liability. None of the Company’s contracts contain a significant financing component. The Company recognizes transaction revenue on a gross basis as it is the principal for fulfilling payment transactions. As the principal to the transaction, the Company controls the service of completing payments for its customers. The Company bears primary responsibility for the fulfillment of the payment service, is the merchant of record, contracts directly with its customers, controls the product specifications, and defines the value proposition of its services. The Company is also responsible for providing customer support. Further, the Company has full discretion over determining the fee charged to its customers, which is independent of the cost it incurs in instances where it may utilize payment processors or other financial institutions to perform services on its behalf. These fees paid to payment processors and other financial institutions are recognized as ‘Transaction expenses’ within the Condensed Consolidated Statements of Operations. The Company does not have any capitalized contract acquisition costs.

| Segment Reporting | Segment and Geographic Information The Company determines operating segments based on how its chief operating decision maker (“CODM”) manages the business, makes operating decisions around the allocation of resources, and evaluates operating performance. The Company’s CODM is its Chief Executive Officer, who reviews the Company’s operating results on a consolidated basis. The Company operates as one operating segment. Based on the information provided to the Company’s CODM, the Company believes that the nature, amount, timing, and uncertainty of its revenue and how it is affected by economic factors are most appropriately depicted through the Company’s primary geographical locations. Revenues recorded by the Company are substantially all from the Company’s single performance obligation which are earned from similar services for which the nature of associated fees and the related revenue recognition models are substantially the same. Refer to Note 3. Revenue and Note 6. Property and Equipment for information related to the Company’s geographic information for revenue and long-lived assets, respectively. Segment Income and Performance Measurement The Company’s CODM is provided the financial performance of the Company's one operating segment showing net income (loss) as the primary measure of segment profitability. Net income (loss) reflects revenue generated and expenses incurred for the business. The CODM uses this measure to evaluate the operational efficiency and profitability of the Company, to make strategic decisions about capital allocation, and to assess whether the Company is meeting its financial targets. The CODM does not evaluate the performance of its one operating segment using asset information. The Company’s CODM is regularly provided results comparing actual performance against budgeted targets and prior periods. This measure aligns with how resources are managed and allocated within the Company’s one operating segment business. Significant Segment Expenses On a regular basis, the Company’s CODM is provided certain significant segment expenses, which include advertising expense and stock-based compensation expense, in addition to those significant segment expenses reported within the Consolidated Statements of Operations.
