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.
