How this ranking works

Methodology: rankings compare normalized recipient payout for the same GBP 500 send amount. Only active providers with finite positive quotes are eligible. Quotes must be from the past two hours, and any quote more than 60 minutes older than the newest quote for that corridor is excluded. Pricing can change, so confirm the live payout before transferring.
