For each provider:
Provider margins are typical retail-customer figures observed on each provider's own price calculator across major corridors (last reviewed 2026-04-29). They vary by corridor, time of day, payment method, and account tier — get a real-time quote at the “Quote” link in the table for your exact transfer.
We assume bank-funded online transfers, which is the cheapest path everywhere we sampled. Debit / credit-card funding adds 1–3% on top across providers. Western Union's walk-in cash price is meaningfully worse than online; we model online.
