What It Costs to Send Money to Haiti from the US
In the 2024 Q3 World Bank Remittance Prices Worldwide quarterly survey, sending USD 200 from the United States to Haiti carried a median total cost of 5.50% and an average total cost of 5.26% of the amount sent. Total cost, as defined by the survey, combines both the transfer fee charged by the provider and the exchange-rate margin applied to the conversion, expressed together as a percentage of the USD 200 send amount.
Across the 14 providers surveyed in that same 2024 Q3 snapshot, the range of total costs was wide. The cheapest surveyed option came in at 0.00% and the most expensive reached 11.18%. As of the 2024 Q3 survey date, MoneyGram was the cheapest surveyed provider in this corridor; because survey data is refreshed each quarter, that standing may have changed in subsequent periods.
Costs within this corridor can differ depending on the payment method used, the payout method selected by the recipient, and the amount being transferred, so individual quotes may fall anywhere within the surveyed range. The World Bank updates this survey quarterly, meaning figures shift over time. The per-provider table below presents the dated 2024 Q3 survey quotes for each of the 14 providers and is not a source of live pricing.
