This post is in partnership with BestRates app — a real-time remittance intelligence platform transforming how people and businesses move money to Africa.
Remittances are a vital part of Ghana’s economy. In 2023 alone, Ghanaians abroad sent home an estimated USD 4.9 billion, making remittances a larger source of foreign exchange than cocoa exports.
But here’s the challenge: most people don’t know which money transfer service gives the best deal. Exchange rates fluctuate, fees vary, and what you see is not always what you get.
That’s where BestRatesApp.com comes in — a new platform built to make money transfers to Ghana and the rest of Africa smarter, faster, and cheaper.
What is the BestRates app?
The BestRates app is a real-time remittance comparison platform that helps users find the best exchange rates and lowest fees when sending money from the UK, US, Canada, Europe, or Australia to African countries — including Ghana.
With BestRates, you can:
- Instantly compare exchange rates and fees from top remittance providers like Wise, Remitly, WorldRemit, and more
- See exactly how much your recipient in Ghana will receive in GHS
- Choose the fastest or most cost-effective transfer route
- Use it on web or mobile, with a clean and simple interface
Whether you’re a student abroad sending money to your parents, or a small business owner paying suppliers in Accra, BestRates App gives you a better way to send money — with transparency and confidence.
Why It Matters for Ghanaians
Ghanaians in the diaspora often rely on trial and error to find good remittance deals. BestRates.app solves that by showing live rates across providers in one place — no need to open five tabs and compare manually.
For example:
You want to send £100 from the UK to Ghana. Wise might give you ₵1,725, while another app offers only ₵1,640. That ₵85 difference adds up over time — especially for monthly or business transfers.
Not Just for Individuals — B2B API for Startups, NGOs, and Fintechs
Beyond the consumer-facing platform, BestRates also offers a powerful API for:
- Fintech companies building transfer products or FX dashboards
- NGOs measuring the cost of remittance in development work
- Financial institutions monitoring market rates and optimizing pricing
The API gives access to real-time rates, historical data, and even alerts when a provider offers the best deal in a specific corridor.
