Prices by Country and Transaction Type

Consumers face costs when moving money domestically. Primarily, this entails exchanging cash for e-money and vice versa (e.g. cash-in, cash-out), moving money between personal accounts (e.g. on-network transfer, off-network transfer) and paying for goods or services (e.g. merchant payments, utility payments).

The visualization shows the price of various transaction types across countries. Prices are expressed as percentages of the transaction amount. For each country, the values represent a market-share weighted average of providers; where market share data is unavailable for any provider, a simple average is used instead.

Depending on the selected option, the prices shown reflect either the cost of completing a transaction equal to a reference value, or a user-specified amount ranging from $1 to $1,000. Pre-specified reference values vary by country, while user-specified values use the same USD value across all countries. For more information on reference values, see our methodology.
