Every dollar matters when it's reaching home.

African diasporas send over $100 billion home each year. Too much of it gets eaten by hidden fees and bad exchange rates — because checking four apps before every transfer isn't realistic. RemitBeat watches the market for you, every thirty minutes, so the people who matter most receive more.

Why RemitBeat

Built for the African diaspora. Independent. Transparent.

🔍

The hidden markup, exposed

Most apps say "$0 fee" — then bake 1–4% margin into the exchange rate. We compare every provider against the mid-market rate and show you the true cost, every time.

The providers that matter

Sendwave, Wise, NALA, Remitly, WorldRemit, Western Union, Boss Money — the most-used remittance apps in the diaspora, all in one place. More added by community demand.

🌍

Multi-currency, multi-corridor

Send from USD, EUR, or GBP to Kenya, Nigeria, Uganda, Tanzania, and Cameroon — with Ghana next on the list.

Common questions

What does RemitBeat do?

RemitBeat helps you compare money transfer providers before sending money home. Instead of ranking providers by advertised rates or zero-fee claims, RemitBeat compares the amount your recipient actually receives after fees and exchange-rate markup, so you can find the best-value transfer for your route.

Is RemitBeat free to use?

Yes. Comparing providers is free and requires no signup. Optional paid plans add extras like more rate alerts and higher WhatsApp usage limits. Rankings are based only on what your recipient receives and are never influenced by partnerships.

Do I send money through RemitBeat?

No. RemitBeat is a comparison service, not a money transmitter. You compare rates here, then complete your transfer directly on the chosen provider's own platform, so your money never passes through RemitBeat.
