01 / How we review providers
How we review providers
Each provider is assessed on four criteria: exchange-rate margin (measured against the mid-market rate at time of test), fixed fee per transfer, minimum and maximum transfer limits, and settlement speed to a standard Nepali bank account. We do not accept payment for review placement or rating. Affiliate commissions apply only to click-throughs, never to rankings.
02 / What "best" means here
What "best" means here
There is no single best provider for every sender. Wise wins on margin for most amounts above AED 200. Al Ansari wins when your recipient needs cash and does not have a bank account. Emirates NBD is convenient if you already bank there and are sending large amounts where the margin difference becomes less significant in percentage terms. "Best" always depends on your amount, your recipient's setup, and how fast you need it to arrive.
