How remit.ae classifies and communicates data currency
Always verify: Regardless of the freshness label shown, always confirm the final rate, fee, and recipient amount with the provider before sending money. Provider sites are the final source of truth.
Exchange rates and transfer fees change frequently. A rate that was accurate one hour ago may no longer be the rate offered to you today. remit.ae tracks when every data point was collected and labels it so you always know how current the information is.
Data was retrieved from an approved official provider API within the last 15 minutes. This is the highest confidence label. It is only applied when: the source type isofficial_api, the source has been explicitly approved for live claims, and the data is within the freshness window. Currently not active — no official API sources are yet approved.
Data came from an approved affiliate or partner feed, within 60 minutes. Partner feeds may lag real-time rates by minutes. This label cannot claim live rates.
Data was checked manually or from a public web page, within the freshness window (typically 4 hours for digital providers, 8 hours for banks). Manual editorial checks always carry this label at best.
No active verified data source exists for this provider on this corridor. The rate, fee, and recipient amount may be null or a structural placeholder. Estimated does not mean live or current data. Always check the provider site directly.
Data exists in our system but the freshness window has elapsed. Stale data is shown with a warning and always downgrades the recommendation to “Check Provider” — it is never used to make comparative claims.
The provider is not yet approved for display, the data source is unreachable, or the corridor is not supported. No rate or fee is shown.
