Corridors
533 country pairs with at least one live provider. Cost and settlement are medians across providers, cross-checked against buyer-reported transactions.
What a corridor median does and does not tell you
533 country pairs have at least one live provider; 196 have enough disclosed pricing to publish a median. That gap is the most important thing on this index — a route without a published median is not necessarily expensive, it is unmeasured.
Where a median exists, it is computed from provider-filed pricing cross-checked against buyer-reported transactions, and it moves. Treat any corridor figure older than a quarter as historical.

Corridor pricing, answered
From buyer questions about corridor data. Marked up as FAQPage.
An absent median does not mean an expensive route — it means an unmeasured one. Of 533 live corridors only 196 carry enough disclosed pricing to publish a figure. Buyers routinely read the gap as a red flag and skip corridors that are simply under-reported, which is where the least contested pricing usually sits.
