Savings reflect the fees and rates you entered, not live market data.

Before you send

  • Compare net delivered amount, not just the sticker fee.
  • Run the same send amount on both quotes you are considering.
  • Ask siblings which channel the family will actually use consistently.
  • Log the winner in your monthly support budget so you revisit after policy changes.
