About SendMoneyCompare
The independent comparison platform helping you find the cheapest way to send money internationally.
Our story
SendMoneyCompare was born out of a personal frustration. Sending money to family overseas, we discovered that banks were quietly adding 3–5% markups on exchange rates — on top of flat wire fees. A $1,000 transfer could cost $50+ in hidden charges, and there was no easy way to compare alternatives side by side.
We built the comparison tool we wished existed: one that pulls real-time exchange rates and fees from 80+ providers, calculates exactly how much your recipient receives, and ranks providers by who delivers the most money. No sponsored placements, no hidden agendas — just transparent data.
Today, SendMoneyCompare compares 300+ corridors where two or more providers quote, publishes in-depth provider reviews, and updates quote data every 6 hours. Millions of people use comparison sites like ours to make smarter decisions about international transfers every year.
What we believe
Transparency first
Every ranking on our site is based on who gives your recipient the most money. No provider can pay for a higher position.
Real data, not estimates
We collect live quotes from provider APIs and websites every 6 hours. You see the same rates you'd get going directly to the provider.
Regulated providers
We compare established providers that are regulated in the markets where they operate, and list each reviewed provider's regulators — FCA, FinCEN, ASIC or equivalent — on its page.
Free for consumers
Our comparison tools are completely free. We earn revenue through affiliate partnerships, which never influence our rankings.
How we make money
SendMoneyCompare is free for consumers. We earn revenue when you click through to a provider and complete a transfer — this is called an affiliate commission. Some providers pay us a referral fee; others don't.
Crucially, affiliate relationships never affect our rankings. Providers are always sorted by who gives your recipient the most money for a given transfer. A provider that pays us zero commission will still rank #1 if it delivers the best deal. You can read the full details in our Editorial Policy.
Our team
SendMoneyCompare is built and maintained by a small team with backgrounds in fintech, product management, and data engineering. Our editorial content is written by people who have personally used the providers we review.
