How We Score Providers
Remit‑Score (0–10) shows how much money your recipient actually gets after fees and exchange rates. We look at real quotes—not marketing claims—to calculate each score.
Providers cannot pay to rank higher. Affiliate relationships do not influence scores. Every score reflects real transfer outcomes.
See how top providers like Wise, Remitly, and Western Union score.

We show the delivered amount after fees and FX markup, not just a headline rate.

Every quote includes a capture time. Refresh cadence varies by provider and corridor.
Apples-to-apples
We standardize fees, FX rate, and delivery method so results are comparable.

Why comparative pricing preserves capital
Banks monetize FX Spread through off-market execution.

The cost is in the rate, not the fee.
"Zero fee" transfers are rarely free. Providers move their margin into the exchange rate — a gap called the spread. We measure it on every quote.
1
The Rate Markup
Banks advertise low or zero fees, but earn by quoting an exchange rate below the true mid-market reference — typically 3–5% below. That gap is the real cost of your transfer.
The mid-market rate is the wholesale price institutions transact at among themselves. Most consumers never see it. We show you exactly how far your quoted rate sits from that benchmark.
2
Provider vs Benchmark
We fetch live quotes from every provider and benchmark them against the mid-market rate. The gap between what a provider quotes and the true rate is the total cost passed to your recipient.
3
The Compounding Effect
For regular senders, provider selection compounds. Saving 1–2% on every monthly transfer adds up meaningfully over a year — without changing your routine at all.
Compare quotes to see the annual difference
The bottom line
When you send money without comparing, you're paying the spread — and never seeing it. Remit-Scout surfaces the true cost of every quote so your decision is based on what your recipient actually receives.
Every quote is benchmarked against the mid-market rate in real time.

The Story Behind Remit-Scout
$30 Shouldn't Disappear Into Thin Air
When Omar Ghabayen moved from Jordan to study at Carnegie Mellon University, his family would send him pocket money to help with expenses.
Every single time, $30 vanished. $15 disappeared at the sending bank in Jordan, another $15 at his receiving bank in the US. For a student living on a tight budget, that wasn't just pocket change it was two weeks of groceries, or a textbook, or a tank of gas.
Back home in Jordan, $30 goes even further. It's a family's weekly groceries, or three days of wages for many workers. Omar realized: what seems like pocket change in one country can make a real difference in another.
That frustration led to building Remit-Scout, a completely transparent comparison platform where providers cannot pay to rank higher. We just show you which option gets the most money to your recipient, because every dollar matters when you're sending money home.

Why your checkout may look different
Remittance pricing isn't one flat price. Here's what can change:
Payment method: Card payments often cost 2–3% more than bank transfers.
Timing: FX rates change minute-to-minute. Provider rates may differ if captured at different times.
Promotions: First-transfer promotions, fee waivers, or special rates may not be reflected in our quotes.
Safety first: Remit‑Scout is a comparison and research product. We do not hold, move, or transmit money. When you choose a provider, you complete the transfer on their licensed platform.

Don't Make These
Money Transfer Mistakes
These common errors can cost you hundreds of dollars. Here's how to avoid them.
Only Looking at Fees
"Zero fee" doesn't mean zero cost. Providers hide profit in exchange rate markups that often cost more than the fee.
How to avoid:
Compare the "recipient gets" amount—that shows the true total cost including hidden markup.
Not Comparing Before Every Transfer
Exchange rates change daily. The best provider last month might not be the best today.
How to avoid:
Always compare rates before sending. Use our tool to see live quotes from multiple providers side-by-side.
Using Your Bank Out of Habit
Banks typically charge 3-5% more in hidden exchange rate markups because they know customers don't compare.
How to avoid:
Compare your bank's rate to money transfer specialists. Most specialists beat banks by 3-7x.
Not Verifying the Final Quote
Checkout prices can differ from initial quotes due to promo rates, verification, or rate changes.
How to avoid:
Review the final quote at checkout. If it differs significantly, compare other providers.
