If any content is published that falls short of our high editorial standards, we will ensure it is removed or edited immediately - and will reassess our relationship with the writer responsible.

Advertising disclosure

Our tables are organised based on a combination of factors that includes the score given in their review and the value when using them to make a transfer. Some but not all of our tables have sponsored positions at the top.

All advertising and sponsored content on MoneyTransfers.com is clearly distinguishable from editorial content or identified as an ‘Advertisement’ or ‘Sponsored’. This or a similar designation indicates the content is provided by or on behalf of a sponsor. This is also true for all native ads and paid content.

All editorial content on MoneyTransfers.com is not influenced by advertisement unless it is sponsored, in which case it will clearly be demarcated and identified with ‘Advertisement’, ‘Sponsored’ or a similar designation.

In some cases editorial content may contain links to partners for which MoneyTransfers.com receives an affiliate commission. The placement of these links is not influenced by payment and editorial reserves the right to change, modify or remove at any time to provide our users with the best experience.

How MoneyTransfers.com makes money

We generate revenue through partnerships with selected money transfer providers listed on our site. Rest assured, these partnerships will not affect your fees when using a money transfer provider, and we guarantee all affiliate providers are trusted and regulated.

We will never ask you for money or charge any subscription fee: all MoneyTransfers content is free and available to anyone who needs it.
