Repatriation refers to the return of people, money, or objects of cultural heritage to their country or culture of origin.

In finance, the term repatriation refers to the conversion or exchange of foreign currency into someone's home currency. In most cases, it involves moving money back after someone returns home after living or working abroad, though repatriation is also a common occurrence in other areas of the financial sector, such as business transactions, foreign investments, or international travel.
