- Exchange house apps – such as those from well-known UAE exchange houses, often with competitive rates for South Asia.
- International transfer apps – like Wise, Remitly and Western Union.
What to Compare

- Transfer fee – can be fixed or a percentage.
- Speed – instant, same day or a few days.
- Delivery options – bank account, mobile wallet or cash pickup.

Tips
