Tips for sending money from United States to India
- 1
Compare the margin on the exchange rate, not just the stated fees: that is where most of the cost sits. On the corridors we record, the best bank ranges from 0.6% to 5.2% of the amount sent — sometimes cheaper than a specialist, sometimes not.
- 2
Avoid sending on weekends: exchange rates are less favorable. Prefer business days for your transfers.

How long does it take to send money from United States to India?
Delivery times differ by provider and by payout method. When a provider states an estimate, we show it in the table; when it states none, we say so rather than guess.
What are the fees for a transfer from United States to India?
The total cost combines the stated fee and the margin applied to the exchange rate. It varies by corridor, by provider and by amount — which is why we record a quote for several amounts rather than quoting a single figure.
