How to send money from US to Mauritania

Pick a company

If you're sending a one-off transfer, then Regency FX is the best option.

Regency FX was the cheapest on 30 of the 30 days it quoted $7,000 transfers to Mauritania.

For recurring transfers, I'd suggest using an app or a multi-currency account with MoneyGram.

For large transfers, a broker like Regency FX is the best option.

If your recipient needs cash, MoneyGram is the cheapest.

How much you send will affect the best option for you right now.

Pay for it

You have 4 ways to pay for your transfer to Mauritania, including bank transfer, debit card, cash deposit, and credit card.

Usually, using bank transfer to fund your transfer is the cheapest but slowest option (ACH and takes a day or two).

You can use a debit card, Apple Pay and Google Pay for quicker deposit but its a bit more expensive.

I suggest avoiding credit cards since these are most expensive and have cash advance fees (Amex is very rarely accepted in general).

Check and send

First time round you'll need to confirm who you are.

An SSN isn't required, an ITIN or a foreign passport works with most companies here.

Exchange rateFeeRecipient getsDifference

Each line shows what the recipient gets when you send $7,000, after fees, as quoted by each company. The mid-market line shows what $7,000 converts to at the real exchange rate, with no fees or markup. Rates are checked once a day. Sponsored placements never affect this data. There are no bank quotes for this period.

Understanding USD/MRU exchange rate

The dashed line is what you'd get at the mid-market rate with no fees, and the blue line is the cheapest option that day.

When the blue line goes above the dashed one, you're getting more MRU per USD than the mid-market rate can offer.

This could be due to money transfer offers, FX rate adjustments, or market competitiveness.

No company, app or bank beat the mid-market rate over the past month, meaning you lose a bit of MRU on every transfer from US.

Right now, Regency FX pays 280,984.9 MRU on 7,000 USD, which is 760.71 MRU less than the mid-market amount.

Today's payout isn't the best this month though, since the highest receive amount was 281,332.72 MRU.

If you can wait and want to get the most out of your transfer, create a rate alert and we'll let you know when the rate improves.

Is the cheapest money transfer company always the best?

Different companies can come out cheapest depending on the day and the amount you send.

To keep things fair, we only count the comparisons each company appeared in, and only analyze companies that appeared in at least 50% of all comparisons (so occasional cheapest options don't skew it).

Today Regency FX is the cheapest and gets you the most MRU, and it was also the cheapest in 100% of the 117 comparisons it appeared in over the past month.

It's a good pick for both one-off and regular transfers to Mauritania.

MoneyGram (today's second cheapest) was the cheapest in only 25% of its comparisons, so it's rarely the cheapest option for transfers to Mauritania.

Ways to send money from the US to Mauritania

There are 3 companies available for sending money from the US to Mauritania, across app, broker, online, and in person, and more.

For regular transfers home

Money transfer apps

If you send a few hundred dollars home every payday, an app is usually the cheapest way and the least work.

MoneyGram charges $60.79 on a $7,000 transfer with 1.3% markup, saves your recipient's details for next time, and MRU arrives in minutes - 24 hours.

Over the past month, MoneyGram was the cheapest app on 100% of the days it appeared for $7,000 transfers.

Funding from a US bank account or debit card avoids the 1% federal tax that applies to cash-funded transfers.

Sending without a US bank account

Cash & in-person transfers

Paying in cash at an agent can work without a US bank account.

The ID accepted depends on the company and the amount, so check before visiting if you do not have an SSN.

Hand $7,000 to a MoneyGram agent in the US, and your recipient will get 278,100.9 MRU in minutes - 24 hours.

Our data shows MoneyGram came out cheapest among in-person options on 100% of days in the past month.

However, transfers funded with cash or a money order carry a 1% federal tax since January 1, 2026. To avoid it, fund with a debit card or bank account instead (most agents take both).

For one-off transfers

Online transfers

For a one-off transfer, an online service funded from your checking account is usually the cheapest way to send money to Mauritania.

Of all online companies listed here, MoneyGram gets you the most MRU per USD.

On a $7,000 transfer, you will get 278,100.9 MRU after a $60.79 fee and 1.3% markup.

In our comparisons over the past month, it was the cheapest online service on 30 of the 30 days it quoted.

But, bank funding (ACH) takes 1 to 3 business days to clear, while debit cards (and Google Pay/Apple Pay) are usually instant but cost a bit more.

For transfers over $10,000

Currency brokers

For large transfers to Mauritania (e.g. a property purchase, tuition, or moving to Mauritania), a broker like Regency FX charges no fee, gives you a dedicated account manager, and adds 0.27% markup on USD/MRU that gets lower the more you send.

Our analysis shows Regency FX was the cheapest broker in 100% of the transfers from $5,000 it quoted.

Business payments from the US

Global accounts

Global accounts are for US businesses paying people abroad.

Companies like Airwallex, WorldFirst, or Payoneer handle the recurring and batch payments, invoicing, tracking, and more.

Ways to fund USD and receive MRU in Mauritania

With Regency FX, paying by bank transfer and receiving through bank deposit is the cheapest combination. Sending $7,000 gives your recipient 280,984.9 MRU.

Deposit USD by bank transfer, debit card, cash deposit, and credit card.

An ACH payment is usually cheaper than a card, but it may take some time for it to clear before a money transfer company can send the money to Mauritania.

You can deposit cash

MoneyGram is the cheapest option and will get you 278,100.9 MRU on a $7,000 transfer after fees.

Transfers funded with physical cash are subject to the 1% US remittance transfer tax, but funding from a US bank account or with a US-issued debit or credit card is exempt.

Zelle, Venmo and Cash App only support domestic transfers, so they cannot send money to Mauritania.

Your recipient in Mauritania can collect MRU through bank deposit, mobile money, and cash pickup.

They can collect cash in Mauritania

Things to consider before sending USD to Mauritania

The way you fund the transfer now affects the tax, while US law gives you specific rights if something goes wrong.

Find the right USD/MRU company

Cheapest way to send money to Mauritania

The cheapest option is Regency FX, funded by bank transfer with bank deposit for the payout. Your recipient gets 280,984.9 MRU, which is 1.03% more than the next best option.

Fastest way to send money to Mauritania

The fastest option is TapTap Send. Pay by debit card and choose bank deposit for the payout. Your recipient gets 275,100 MRU, with the money arriving in minutes.

Cash-funded transfers now carry a 1% tax

Since January 1, 2026, a 1% federal tax applies when an international transfer is funded with cash, a money order, a cashier's check or a traveler's check.

Funding from a US bank account, including ACH, or with a US-issued debit or credit card is exempt.

The rule applies to how you pay in, so your recipient can still collect cash without triggering the tax.

The $10,000 rule is not a transfer limit

There is no federal cap on how much of your own money you can send electronically abroad.

Your bank or transfer company can set its own limit and ask for proof of where a large or unusual payment came from.

Cash reports and the declaration for physically carrying more than $10,000 across the US border are separate rules.

Do not split cash transactions to avoid a report.

You normally have 30 minutes to cancel

The US Remittance Transfer Rule requires a covered company to show the exchange rate, fees and expected amount received before you pay.

You can normally cancel within 30 minutes at no charge, provided the money has not been deposited or collected.

You also have error-resolution rights if the wrong amount arrives or the transfer never turns up.

Contact the company first and keep the receipt.

The CFPB explains the cancellation and error process.

Need to send a large amount of USD to Mauritania?

For transfers over $10,000, Regency FX is the best option.

It offers the best exchange rate, which is more important than the fee for large transfers to Mauritania.

While Regency FX may not always be the cheapest or fastest way to send MRU, they offer years of experience, and will offer you the peace of mind you need when sending large amounts abroad.
