Sending Money to Haiti from the US and Canada: 2026 Costs
What it really costs to send money to Haiti from the US, Canada and France: quotes we recorded, World Bank averages, and how money is received in Haiti.
In summary

Haiti received $4.11 billion in personal remittances in 2024, according to the World Bank. Sending $200 from the United States costs 4.70% on average across all operators, and 5.78% from Canada (World Bank, Q3 2025). What you actually pay depends above all on the provider: on the same day, the gap between the cheapest and the most expensive quote we recorded reached 14 points.

Total cost is measured against the interbank rate on the day. Quotes change every day: each route page below shows the live comparison, at 100, 200, 500 and 1,000.
What this means in practice
- Western Union had the lowest regular price we recorded on all three routes that day, and the shortest stated delivery time (about 24 hours).
- Wise was the most expensive on all three routes, at 12.5% to 18.3% for a transfer of 100, with a stated delivery of six to eight days. Fees do not scale the same way from one provider to another: check the larger amounts on each route page before deciding.
- Remitly was cheapest on the first transfer from the US and France, thanks to a discount. Compare its regular price before a second transfer.
Wise is the only provider that pays this site a commission. It has no influence on the order of any table: providers are ranked by the amount the recipient gets.
How money is received in Haiti
About 30% of Haitian adults hold a bank account. MonCash is the widely used mobile wallet, and cash pickup remains common. Before sending, ask the recipient how they want to receive the money: not every provider pays out to every method.
Compare by route
Before you send
- Compare the amount the recipient gets, not the fee: the exchange-rate margin is part of the cost.
- Check the payout method: MonCash, bank account or cash pickup.
- Treat a first-transfer price as a one-off.
- The gourde moves: re-check the quote on the day you send.
