Switching from Xe to a cheaper option is straightforward. Here is what to expect and how to make the switch.
Use the live tool to see today's measured costs for each corridor:
1. Go to the RemitRoutes comparison tool, enter your send corridor and amount, and see which provider is cheapest today. No account required.
2. If a digital asset rail appears cheaper, you will need an on-ramp exchange account (Coinbase, Kraken, or Gemini for USD; corridor-specific exchanges for other currencies). KYC setup takes 10–15 minutes. First transfer is same-day.
3. You don't need to close your Xe account. Many senders keep it as a backup and use RemitRoutes to decide transfer-by-transfer which provider is cheapest.

No. Xe builds its margin into the exchange rate — the spread sits above mid-market. You pay through a less favorable rate, not an upfront fee. RemitRoutes shows the all-in cost including FX markup so you can compare fairly.
Enter your corridor and amount on RemitRoutes. We calculate Xe's all-in cost (fee + rate spread) alongside Wise, digital asset rails, and 15+ other providers — all using the same mid-market rate as baseline.
No. Keep your Xe account — it's free to hold. You can use Xe for transfers where it's competitive and switch to cheaper options when RemitRoutes shows a better rate.
Yes. Each transfer is completely independent. Use Xe for one transfer, Wise or digital asset rails for the next — whichever RemitRoutes shows as cheapest for that specific corridor and amount.
