How to read the results?
- Exchange rate : the rate offered by the provider. Compare it to the market rate to assess the margin.
- Fees : fixed or variable commission applied by the provider.
- Total cost (%) : the percentage lost between sending and receiving, including the rate and fees.
- Amount received : what your recipient will receive after all fees.
- Delivery time : estimated time before the recipient receives the funds.
Money-saving tips
- Always compare several providers before sending.
- Choose electronic transfers (wire) over cash, often cheaper.
- Group your transfers to reduce the impact of fixed fees.
- Check provider promotions and discount codes.
- Compare your bank too, rather than ruling it out in advance. On the corridors we record, the best bank costs between 0.6% and 5.2% of the amount sent, with a median around 1.7%: sometimes more expensive than a specialist, sometimes less.
What are the best providers?
The best provider depends on the corridor (sending and receiving country) and the amount. Wise is generally the cheapest for small amounts, while OFX and Revolut can be more competitive for large amounts.
For urgent transfers, Western Union and MoneyGram offer cash transfers available in minutes.

Rate update frequency
The prices shown are quotes collected directly from Remitly, WorldRemit and Western Union, and from the public Wise comparison interface for the other providers; the reference rate comes from open.er-api.com. Each corridor page shows the collection date of the oldest quote it displays: we do not advertise a frequency, we show a date.
A recorded quote is not live pricing: providers adjust their rates continuously, so the price may change between our display and the moment you send.
FAQ
How do I compare money transfers?
Select your sending and destination country, click Compare now, browse offers sorted by total cost (cheapest first), then click Send to be redirected to your chosen provider.
What is the best money transfer service?
The best provider depends on the corridor. Wise is generally cheapest for small amounts, OFX for large amounts. Western Union and MoneyGram are faster but more expensive. Compare on TransfertCompare to find the best option.
What are the hidden fees of money transfers?
A bank earns mostly through the margin applied to the exchange rate, on top of its stated fees. On the corridors we record, the total cost of the best bank ranges from 0.6% to 5.2% of the amount sent depending on the country and the institution, with a median around 1.7%. Specialist providers are often cheaper, but not always: that is what the comparison lets you check, corridor by corridor.
How long does an international money transfer take?
Transfers can take from a few minutes (cash) to 3 business days (bank transfer). Western Union and MoneyGram offer cash transfers available in minutes. Wise and Revolut typically take 1-2 days.
Is it safe to send money online?
The providers we compare are licensed by financial authorities, mainly the FCA in the United Kingdom and FinCEN in the United States. That licence requires safeguarding of funds: your money is held separately from the company's own cash. This is not a deposit guarantee like the one covering a bank account. Check the provider's licence before a large transfer.
Limitations
Displayed rates and fees are indicative and may vary depending on the amount, payment method, and provider conditions at the time of transfer. We recommend always checking the final cost on the provider's website before confirming a transfer.
