送金人 is the general term for a remitter in money transfers. 差出人 is a broader 'sender' used for mail and packages, but can also appear on money transfer forms. 振込人 specifically refers to the person making a bank transfer (振込), often seen in online banking interfaces.
The English word 'remitter' is rarely used in everyday conversation. In Japanese, you would usually say 送金した人 (the person who sent the money) or simply use the person's name/role in context. Only use the formal terms above when filling out forms or discussing banking procedures.
送金人は本人確認書類を提示する必要があります。
