Wise or Moneygram?

We record rates for both services on 3 corridors. Here is which one came out cheaper on each at the latest reading — total cost, fees and exchange-rate margin included.

What the readings show

Moneygram is cheaper on 2 of the 3 corridors where we compare both.

So there is no single answer: the cheaper one depends on the corridor, and sometimes on the amount sent.

Ranking is on total cost — advertised fees plus the margin taken on the exchange rate — for the same amount and on the same date. A rate recorded more than three days ago is not compared against today's market.
