How we compare providers

What we track

• Flat fee (in AED) for a benchmark AED 1,000 transfer.
• FX markup vs. the mid-market rate at the moment of quote.
• Delivery speed for each corridor.
• Delivery methods (bank deposit, cash pickup, GCash, Maya, UPI).
• Publicly available app-store rating (average of iOS + Android).
• Regulatory status (which UAE / home-country authority licenses the provider).

Where the numbers come from

Directly from each provider's app or public site, on the day we update. Every page carries a "Last updated" date. When we cannot verify a number, we show a placeholder (— or "TODO: verify") rather than invent one.

How often we update

Provider fees and rate policies are relatively stable — we aim to re-verify each provider page at least once every 30 days. Exchange rates move daily; we do not attempt to keep those live on this site. Always confirm the exact recipient amount in the provider's own app.

What we do not do

• Rank based on affiliate commission.
• Copy provider branding.
• Compete with providers by offering our own promotions.
