What It Costs to Send Money to Honduras from the US
In the 2024 Q3 World Bank Remittance Prices Worldwide quarterly survey, sending USD 200 from the United States to Honduras carried a median total cost of 3.58% and an average total cost of 3.93% of the amount sent. Total cost in this survey combines two components: the transfer fee charged by the provider and the exchange-rate margin applied when converting US dollars to the destination currency. Both components are expressed together as a percentage of the USD 200 send amount.
Across the 31 providers surveyed in that 2024 Q3 snapshot, quoted total costs ranged from a low of 0.08% to a high of 7.08%, reflecting considerable variation in pricing within this corridor. The cheapest surveyed provider in the 2024 Q3 data was Walmart2World. This reflects the price recorded at the time of that specific survey and may not represent current pricing, as provider fees and exchange-rate margins can change between survey periods.
Costs within this corridor can also differ depending on the payment method used, such as bank account or debit card, and the payout method available to the recipient. The send amount can likewise affect the percentage cost. The World Bank survey is updated quarterly, so figures shift over time. The per-provider table below displays the individual quotes drawn from this dated 2024 Q3 survey.
