Sending money from Canada to Ghana

In Ghana, mobile money โ€” led by MTN Mobile Money โ€” is the most popular way to receive transfers, with bank deposits to cedi (GHS) accounts also widely available.

Mobile-wallet payouts typically settle in minutes, while bank deposits can take longer depending on the receiving bank.

When you send Canadian Dollar (CAD) to Ghana, most of the cost is the exchange-rate markup baked into the rate, not the upfront fee. RemitBeat compares the live CADย โ†’ย GHS rate across Wise, Remitly, Sendwave, WorldRemit, Western Union and more, benchmarks each against the mid-market rate, and ranks them by the amount that actually arrives in GHS โ€” so you can see the genuinely cheapest option rather than the one with the flashiest headline fee.

What is the best rate to send money from Canada to Ghana today?+
As of the latest update, the best value provider for CAD to GHS is WorldRemit, with an effective rate of 7.94 GHS per CAD and no transfer fee. Rates change throughout the day, so always check the live comparison before sending.
What is the mid-market CAD/GHS exchange rate right now?+
The current mid-market (interbank) rate is about 7.9477 GHS per CAD. This is the "real" rate before any provider markup โ€” RemitBeat shows how far each provider's quote sits from it.
What is a hidden markup, and how much does it cost me?+
Many transfer apps advertise "$0 fee" but bake their margin into a worse exchange rate. That gap between the provider's rate and the mid-market rate is the hidden markup. RemitBeat calculates it for every quote so you can compare the true, all-in cost rather than just the headline fee.
How can I receive CAD transfers in Ghana?+
Most providers we track deliver to mobile money (MoMo) or a bank account in Ghana. The comparison groups providers by payout method โ€” mobile money and bank โ€” so you only compare options that support the way your recipient wants to be paid.
How does RemitBeat make money if comparison is free?+
When you click through to a provider we may earn a small affiliate commission. You pay exactly the same as going to the provider directly โ€” the rate you see is the rate you get. This keeps the comparison free and unbiased.
