At Transferly, we analyze big and small money transfer services that are available in the US and worldwide.
We compare and rank them based on merits such as exchange rates and fees, transfer speed, service quality, trust, security, customer satisfaction, and others.
To do so, we evaluate them completely and look into their services, structure, policies and transparency.
We then write our in-depth reviews on them to provide our users with all the knowledge they need to make informed decisions when sending money online.
Money transfer providers are not as transparent as they should be. They often do not clearly reveal all the fees both parties will incur when you send money online. That can complicate the process of transferring money to your loved ones, and can lead to unexpected fees.
At Transferly, we know everyone’s needs are different, which is why our main mission is to help people find the best way to transfer money. We are constantly reviewing and researching the most affordable ways to send and receive money internationally.
That’s why we offer both a quick real-time comparison engine and in-depth reviews of money transfer services. With our online comparison service, you can quickly find the best money transfer options for your next money transfer. On the other hand, our in-depth reviews offer a lot more information so you can learn more about your money transfer service of choice.
Finding the money transfer service that fits your needs can be difficult. There are many factors to consider, and choosing the wrong service may lead to your money not arriving on time, or it may result in excessive and unexpected fees.
Our research teams test money transfer providers in five categories:
At Transferly, we rate each service on a scale from one to ten. Those with a score of 10 represent the best available option.
For most people, the cost of the money transfer service is the main point on which they base their decision. We give a ranking of fees and exchange rates that we base both on advertised and hidden fees. By looking at a provider’s advertised prices and comparing them to mid-market prices, we determine if any hidden fees can result from a markup on the exchange rate.
We base our ratings on the following criteria:
Transfer speed is the second most important point to consider when searching for a money transfer service. Which one you choose will depend on whether you need to send or receive money instantly, or if you can wait a day for the money to arrive.
At Transferly, we look at the time it takes for the money to transfer from one account to another. We compare that time with the expected transfer speed claims given by the service. Additionally, we look at the transfer speeds other money transfer providers offer.
We rank money transfer services based on their quality of service in the US and abroad. First, we look at the number of countries the transfer service is available in and the number of languages it supports.
Then we look at the availability and flexibility of the provider, based on the following criteria:
We make sure that each provider listed on Transferly is licensed and authorized. However, that’s the bare minimum for trust and security, which is why we also take into account the credibility of the provider.
We base credibility on the number of positive reviews and the number of customers that use the service regularly. Additionally, we take into account the number of employees the company has. Furthermore, we look at which ID numbers are necessary to send a transfer.
Customer satisfaction is a key indicator of the level of overall service each provider is offering and if they are meeting their users’ needs in an effective way. We rate customer satisfaction based on two criteria:
