About SendMoneyHome.org

SendMoneyHome.org is a website that provides consumers with an independent comparison of the best value services offered by Banks, Money Transfer Operators (MTOs), FX providers and prepaid cards for transferring money abroad taking into account their fees, real-time exchange rates, speed and method of transfer. Privately owned by Profile Business Intelligence Ltd (PBI), the site provides detailed information on the various options and methods to find consumers the best deal when sending money abroad.

Launched in March 2005, originally funded and supported by the UK Government’s Department for International Development (DFID), the site has already been established as the widest reaching and most comprehensive independent online comparison site for international money transfers and has been described as the ‘benchmark’ for money transfer comparison sites by the UK’s champion for consumers, Martin Lewis (moneysavingexpert.com).

Since September 2008, SendMoneyHome.org has already expanded its offering to a more global audience and is currently the world’s foremost money transfer price comparison service for sending amounts from $10 to $10,000,000 or more.

SendMoneyHome.org was initiated by the UK Government’s Department for International Development (DFID), to bring clarity and transparency to the remittances sector for migrant communities living and working in the UK who send money home. Previously, Western Union, MoneyGram, Travelex Money Transfer (now Coinstar) and to a lesser degree banks had a stranglehold on money transfer flows from the UK – charging exorbitant fees and offering poor exchange rates. Since its inception, Sendmoneyhome.org’s mandate has been to promote awareness of the other options that are available and provide information about money transfer options that were otherwise not commonly known. This model has worked extremely well in the UK and we are now providing the same comparison model for additional countries - Something that, currently, is clearly absent in many of those countries. Our main longer term goal is to find consumers the best deal wherever they are sending money from and to.

SendMoneyHome.org provides clear, concise comparisons of money transfer services available when sending money from one country to another. It has been developed on custom built proprietary software, which is constantly evolving to cater for the wants and needs of both our visitors and the financial providers we have formed strategic partnerships with. Since September 2008, we have developed strategic partnerships spanning the different types of money transfers – online: Xoom, Moneybookers, Remit2India, Remit2Home FX Providers: Currencies Direct, HiFX, Moneycorp, TorFX prepaid cards: MoneyExpress Card, White Eagle, iKobo Banks: HSBC, HBOS, Habib, Ivobank amongst others.
