Send money

Compare trusted services to move money fast. Fees, FX and availability change frequently—always confirm in‑app before sending.

How transfers work
  • Choose a service, select a corridor, pick delivery (cash, bank, or mobile wallet).
  • Speed depends on funding method, verification and payout partner.
  • FX rates include a margin. Compare total received amount, not just fees.
Quick tips
  • Wallet payouts are often instant; bank deposits may take longer.
  • Cash pick‑up is useful where bank access is limited.
  • Keep recipient name and ID exactly as on their documents for smooth pick‑up.
