How this affects remit.ae pages

Frequently asked questions

Does remit.ae show live exchange rates?
No. remit.ae does not label any rate as live unless an approved official API source is active and the data is within the freshness window. All other data is labelled Estimated, Recently Checked, or Stale.
How are providers compared on remit.ae?
We compare provider availability, payment methods, payout methods, delivery-time disclosures, fee and rate data status, and source freshness. No provider is ranked as best or cheapest without verified comparative data.
Can a provider pay to become the winner or top-ranked?
No. remit.ae does not accept payment for best provider, winner, or recommended labels. Affiliate commissions do not change rankings or data quality assessments.
Why should I verify rates directly with the provider?
Exchange rates and fees can change in seconds. The rate shown on remit.ae may not be the rate at the time of your transaction. Always confirm the final rate, fee, and recipient amount with the provider before sending.
