How this ranking works

Methodology: rankings compare normalized recipient payout for the same USD 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.

Data quality — 12 eligible providers ranked on USD/GHS | normalized send amount: USD 500 | newest quote age: about 2 minutes | ranking window: up to 2 hours
