Getting Started: Comparing Providers
How to compare money transfer providers and pick the best rate.
Welcome! This guide shows you how to quickly compare providers so you get the best overall deal for your transfer.
1) Know your corridor and amount
- Decide the currency pair (e.g., USD→PHP) and how much you want to send. Small vs. large amounts can change which provider is best.
2) Compare total cost (rate + fees)
- Check the live FX rate and all applicable fees (including payment and payout fees). The best provider usually combines a strong rate with low fees.
3) Confirm delivery options and speed
- Some providers offer instant wallet or cash pick-up, others do bank-only. Choose the speed and method that fits your recipient.
4) Lock in and send
- Once you’ve picked the top provider, confirm the final quote and complete your transfer.
