When you send money from Saudi Arabia you pay twice: the transfer fee, and the gap between the company's exchange rate and the market rate. Many companies advertise no fee but give a lower rate.

Compare what arrives

The clearest way to compare is the amount in pounds your family receives after every fee. That is the number the transfer calculator in Geneh uses to rank companies.

How it is collected changes the price

• A deposit into a bank account is usually cheapest.
• Cash pickup at a branch is easier for people without an account, and can cost more.
• Mobile wallets are quick, with lower limits.

The amount matters

A fixed fee weighs heavily on small amounts, so one larger transfer can cost less than several small ones.
