'Good riddance': New York's governor responded to report that Trump, a lifelong New Yorker, declared himself a resident of Florida

Patrick Semansky/AP

• President Donald Trump, a lifelong New Yorker, has declared himself a resident of Palm Beach County, Florida. 
• According to documents obtained by The New York Times, Trump and wife Melania filled out a "declaration of domicile" in recent weeks, declaring the president's Mar-a-Lago golf club their permanent home. 
• A person close to the president told The Times that the reason the president changed his address was "primarily for tax purposes." 
• Under New York State law, if a person spends more than 184 days in the state, the person needs to pay state income taxes. Florida, on the other hand, does not have a state income tax, making it an attractive residential prospect for the wealthy.
• New Yorkers paid the highest state and local income taxes of any state as of May 2019.

President Donald Trump, who grew up in Queens, New York, made millions from large-scale building projects in Manhattan, and shot the "The Apprentice" at his namesake Fifth Avenue skyscraper Trump Tower, has now declared himself a resident of Palm Beach County, Florida. 

According to documents obtained by The New York Times, Trump and wife Melania filled out a "declaration of domicile" in recent weeks, declaring that the president's property in Florida will be their permanent residence.

International money transfers hit $613 billion this year — here's what young, tech savvy users value most about them

This is a preview of a research report from Business Insider Intelligence, Business Insider's premium research service. To learn more about Business Insider Intelligence, click here. Current subscribers can read the report here.

Business Insider IntelligenceRemittances, or cross-border peer-to-peer (P2P) money transfers, hit a record high of $613 billion globally in 2017, following a two-year decline.  And the remittance industry will continue to grow, driven largely by digital services.

Several factors will fuel digital growth globally, such as increased smartphone penetration, greater demand for digital transactions, and an overall need for faster cross-border transfers. And with the shift to digital comes an audience of younger, digital-savvy customers using remittances — a segment that companies are looking to target.

As a result, the global remittance industry is becoming increasingly competitive for firms to navigate, with incumbents like Western Union and MoneyGram competing for the same pool of customers as digital upstarts like WorldRemit and Remitly. And in order to win, companies across the board will need to prioritize the four areas consumers value most in remittances: cost, convenience, speed, and safety.
