What we've measured on USD → JMD
Across 44 days of our own recorded quotes, the gap between the best and worst provider on this corridor has run at a median of 3.4% (widest single day: 4.5%). On a 1,000 USD transfer that is the difference between the best and worst choice.
The best provider has changed 1 times in that window, across 2 different providers (Paysend has led on the most days). This corridor is genuinely competitive, so the cheapest option today may not be the cheapest next week.
Provider rates on this corridor are measured against Wise's published mid-market rate. No central bank publishes a rate for JMD, so the yardstick here comes from Wise — which we also rank, and which therefore sits exactly at the reference by definition. We disclose this rather than hide it.
Recipients in Jamaica can be paid via cash pickup and a bank account, based on what the providers above actually price for this corridor.
Figures come from our own append-only rate history, not from provider marketing. See the methodology and rate trends.

Are there hidden fees when sending USD to JMD?
