Frequently Asked Questions
Answers to the questions we hear most often about comparing remittance providers and sending money home.
Getting Started
1StopRemittance is a comparison platform that shows live exchange rates and fees from 8+ money transfer providers side-by-side, so you can find the cheapest way to send money home. We do not handle your funds — you transact directly with the provider of your choice.
Rates and Fees
Yes. We fetch live mid-market rates from the European Central Bank via the Frankfurter API every two hours, then apply each provider's published margin and fee schedule to estimate the amount your recipient will receive.
Security and Trust
No. We never ask for bank details, card numbers, or account credentials. 1StopRemittance is a comparison site only — you complete your transfer directly with the provider you choose.
Sending Money
Delivery times vary by provider and destination. Mobile wallet top-ups (e.g., bKash, M-Pesa) are often instant. Bank deposits typically take a few hours to two business days. Cash pickup is usually available within minutes at major agents.
Account and Support
No account is required to compare rates or view corridor guides. You may subscribe to rate alerts with just an email address if you want notifications when rates move in your favor.
