2. Exchange Rates Comparison
Wise and Lemfi quotes can vary by destination, transfer amount, payment method and time. Compare quotes for the same GBP amount rather than relying on a historical or indicative rate.
Recipient amount
Compare how much the recipient is quoted to receive for the same GBP amount. This reflects the combined effect of the exchange rate and applicable transfer fee.
Transfer fee
Review the current fee alongside the exchange rate. A lower fee does not automatically produce a higher recipient amount.
Delivery method
Check which payout methods are available for the destination and make sure you compare quotes using the delivery route your recipient intends to use.
Evidence freshness
Pricing and availability can change. Use AfriRate's evidence freshness information, then verify the provider's final quote before transferring.
