These charts show how the recipient value — what your recipient actually gets for a fixed 1000-unit transfer — has moved for each provider, built from every rate snapshot our pipeline records. Higher is better. The dashed line is the official mid-market reference rate.
The corridors below were picked from our own recorded history rather than by region: the ones where choosing the wrong provider costs the most, and the ones where the best provider keeps changing.
71 days of history (409 snapshots, recorded every four hours). A line breaks when a provider had no quote that day — this is an honest gap, not missing data. The history grows every day.
