Compare Stablecoin vs Bank Transfer Costs — RemitRoutes
RemitRoutes publishes the only live, measured index of crypto-vs-fiat remittance cost. It ranks stablecoin and crypto rails against traditional remittance providers by total landed cost — what the recipient actually receives after all fees, FX markup, and network costs — recomputed every six hours.
Compare USDC stablecoins (on Stellar, Solana, Tron, Polygon, and 6 other blockchains), Bitcoin Lightning Network, and traditional providers like Wise, Remitly, and Western Union across 360+ corridors. Crypto vs bank wire comparison, side by side, with real-time data.
Why it matters: In RemitRoutes' latest monthly cost index, crypto and stablecoin rails were cheaper than banks and fintechs on the large majority of the 360+ corridors we measure, often delivering more local currency than the mid-market exchange rate — the only live measured benchmark of its kind. For external context, the World Bank Remittance Prices Worldwide database puts the global average cost of sending $200 internationally at roughly 6.4%.
Supported send currencies: USD, EUR, GBP, AED, SAR, SGD, CAD, AUD, CHF, KRW, HKD, JPY, and more. Receive countries include India, Mexico, Nigeria, Philippines, Pakistan, Brazil, Indonesia, Kenya, Ghana, South Africa, Colombia, and more.
