How we compare
Global Balance ranks providers by how much INR the recipient gets after estimated fees and FX markup — not by marketing headlines. Mid-market rates refresh about every 15 minutes.
Traditional provider rates are modeled from published tariffs; crypto rails may use live bridge prices. Always verify the final quote with the provider before you transfer.
FAQ
- What is the best way to send money to India?
- Compare recipient INR after fees and FX spread, not just the transfer fee. Fintechs like Wise often beat bank wires on total value.
- How long does a USD to INR transfer take?
- Bank wires typically take 1–3 business days. Many remittance apps deliver same day or within hours depending on payout method.
