Our core values
We believe in:
We hired industry experts llike Mr. Badre Bouarich, an ex-HSBC trader, in order to help us structure this site, research the companies, and write down all the technical guides. We stay in direct contact with companies we work with, and even ones we don’t work with, in order to make absolutely sure the data we provide is true.

Even though this website earn money from referring clients to companies, we make sure our choices are well elaborated, sensible, and beyond all – true. We already work with 14 money transfer companies, more than any of our competitors, and review over 30 firms in total. There are firms we deliberately chose not to work with, because our review was poor, but some of the well-ranked companies aren’t necessarily partners of ours.
We have also recently launched our FX complaint investigation service. Have a look. We look into complaints from anyone about any company, including our closest partners. Below is a testimonial about our services:
We make sure to work only with credible firms which are properly regulated. We don’t work with just any money transfer firm which is registered with the FCA and the HMRC in the UK, we make absolutely sure each company we work with is an Authorised Payment Provider (view full list on our FCA page).
Even though we are not regulated ourselves (as an information site which does not handle clients funds or provide any individual advice, there is no adequate type of regulation for us), we have been in contact with regulators to learn more and make absolutely sure we’re working by the book.
We’ve even been in contact with the US Securities and Exchange Commissions (SEC) to help them discover phishing emails send on their behalf. This was their reply:

How MoneyTransferComparison.com was conceived
Over the years, we have realised banks are heavily overcharging clients on international transfers made with them. At the same time we learnt there’s a viable solution for that – commercial firms that buy and sell currency on wholesale and manage to provide better service, while charging lesser fees.
What we have also identified is that information in this market is lacking. While there are other websites dealing with this particular topic, none of them provided what we thought is required.
In early 2015, MoneyTransferComparison was launched in beta mode. We have reviewed over 20 money transfer companies for starters, focusing on one main theme: trustworthiness. At the end of the day, we figured out, most companies have similar fees (or similar exchange rate markups, to be precise). The biggest obstacle clients are facing is how smooth the transaction will be, and what’s the level of service they are expected.
We made our research, rated each firm, and chose our top companies for categories like Remittances, Business FX Transfers, and Personal Overseas Payments.
Our Business Model
Some of the companies reviewed, and/or featured this website, are affiliated with us. That means, that as soon as clients got to them from our website, sign up, and trade, we receive a compensation. That’s a normal revenue model in the world of financial information and price comparison websites, some of the bigger sites you know are also doing it, and it’s good for everyone.
✅ In 2017 – MoneyTransferComparison Helped Clients Move More Than £150,000,000 through our verified partners
Why Is This Business Model User Friendly?
We are able to provide all the information we offer for free. No membership fee for any content. We are able to keep the site advertising free. It’s all information and recommendations, nothing popping out or getting in your face.
We are also able to learn. With some companies, we are able to see how our users reacted to their offering. How many people of the ones we referred has actually managed to sign up (allows us to test the hurdles clients are experiencing). We are able to see whether after signing up, the exchange rate offered was good enough to commit a transaction. We are able to see which companies keep their clients the longest, which is to us a sign of satisfaction from previous deals.
We strong believe this is a Win-Win model, and happy to be one of few websites which are that transparent about what we do.

Hi Ciaran, we’ll be in contact with you during the next months. Currently we have too many companies in the queue and in order to maintain quality we aren’t taking on any more. Thanks!
Hi – suggest check out the spelling of international on the first link to your website as it is currently incorrectly spelt i.e. International. Cheers Graham
Thanks a bunch Graham. We appreciate the feedback. Cheers.
Could you elaborate more on what the “first link to your website” please? We tried to locate our spelling mistake but couldn’t. Thanks a bunch.
Hi, I noticed this too! It’s in the headline of your PPC advert when searching “moneytransfercomparison”.
Best, Ricky
Thanks Ricky. I have received your message also. Too flooded with work to reply at the moment but I appreciate it.
Hi MTC,
I refer to the Review Summary appended at the end of every review of money transfer service provider [MTSP] that follows the format below:
Credibility Score – 98%
Client Feedback – 95%
Fees, Exchange Rates – 92%
Global Reach, Availability, Service – 96%
Added Values – 98%
Please add a link under each attribute that brings users to a list of MTSP ranked according to that attribute. This link can also be inserted in the detailed review section of each attribute of every MTSP.
For example, most clients regard credibility score as important as low fees, exchanges rates. Thus presenting such a ranking by attribute to MTC users will enable them to quickly locate the preferred MSTP that matches their requirements.
Thank you!
Like me for example, I wish to locate the MTSPs with high credibility scores that offers the lowest fees & provide live exchanges rates and receives high client feedback score.
Currently, MTC does not seem to provide any way of finding such MTSPs that meet my requirements.
Thank you for the great suggestions! The site is very manually built in all honesty, and to add more functionality we will have to rebuild it from scratch. I am not saying it’s impossible, but it will take some time and at the current pace of things, we just never able to find it. As per your specific requirements – we rank companies by these factors precisely. Most importantly credibility, then customer feedback, then fees. If you go to our homepage the companies ranked as the top have ratings of 90%+ on all three of your preferred criteria. Cheers and thank you so much for your suggestions. We sincerely appreciate it and when we rebuild the site we will be sure to contact you via email, I hope you would find the time to elaborate on this matter. Best regards!
