What to compare before you send money overseas

Each destination page above sets TopRate beside Wise, Remitly and LemFi. Whichever service you use, these are the things that decide what your transfer costs and how it reaches your recipient:

  • The exchange rate you are offered
  • The fee for the transfer
  • The amount your recipient receives
  • How you pay for the transfer
  • How your recipient is paid

Comparison is indicative only and based on publicly available information; provider fees, rates and features change frequently. Always compare the live quote in each provider's app before you send.
