How to send money to Mexico
The Mexican diaspora is one of the largest in the world. In the United States alone there are nearly 37 million Mexican Americans, and 13.5% of the US population speak Spanish at home!
With $30bn sent from the USA alone to Mexico per year - making this the largest money transfer corridor in the world - Mexicans living abroad need fast, simple and reliable money transfer services so that their recipients can receive the money as conveniently as possible.
What’s the best way to send money to Mexico?

When comparing international money transfer services, many people assume that using the mid-market exchange rate automatically means a cheaper transfer.
