Three questions before any transfer.
What is the real rate?
Compare the rate you are offered with the market rate, not just the fee line.
What will they receive?
Look for a recipient amount shown before you confirm, not an estimate afterwards.
How will they collect it?
Check the recipient can actually use the payout method: bank or mobile money.
Questions, answered.
What should I compare besides the headline rate?
Compare the rate, every fee, the delivery time, the payout methods your recipient can actually use, and whether the final amount is shown before you confirm.
Is this a comparison against named companies?
No. The columns describe how transfers commonly work at banks and at money apps in general, and are not a claim about any specific provider.
Where do I see Dutch Remit's real numbers?
In the app, at the moment you send. Rates and fees on this website are illustrative.
Can I check the corridors before signing up?
Yes. Every corridor has its own page listing payout rails and an illustrative origin-to-destination rate list.
