Start from the job, not the company type

18 use cases, because that is how buyers actually search: nobody looks for an on/off-ramp, they look for a way to pay contractors in Brazil. Each use case carries its own ranked provider list, its own median fee and its own country and corridor filters.

The counts below are provider claims, not verified capability on your route. Send money shows 416 providers; on any single country pair the number that can genuinely serve you is usually under ten. The route page is where that narrowing happens, and it is the page worth bookmarking.

Reading a use-case count

How to interpret the provider numbers below without over-reading them.

The headline countA provider claim across all routes. Send money shows 416 providers; no single route has that many.
Narrow by route firstA country pair typically leaves under ten with a disclosed fee. This is the real shortlist.
Then by requirementLocal rail, licence, FX lock. Usually leaves three to five worth contacting.
Price lastThe spread between credible providers is now narrow. It is the fifth filter, not the first.

Choosing by use case, answered

From buyer questions about use cases. Marked up as FAQPage.

Because that is the question buyers arrive with. A category tells you what a company is; a use case tells you whether it does the thing you need on the route you need it.

Why the headline count is not your count

Every count on this index is a provider claim, not verified capability on your route. Send money shows 416 providers and a single country pair typically narrows to under ten with a disclosed fee. The index is for orientation; the route page is where the shortlist is actually made, and it is the one worth bookmarking.
