Quote ↗

1. Set one test amount

Use the same send amount and payment method for each provider. Promotional first-transfer rates should be separated from the standard quote.

2. Record total received

Write down the fee, exchange rate, total debited and exact ETB the recipient receives. The final ETB amount is the clearest comparison.

3. Check practical fit

Compare delivery time, recipient bank or wallet support, cash-pickup location, identification requirements and support options.

Why we do not publish a fixed fee table

Fees, exchange rates, promotions and available payout methods can change with the sending country, transfer amount, funding method and recipient route. A static number can become wrong quickly. Use the provider links for a live quote, then verify the service against the current NBE register ↗.
