Editorial Process

Every figure published on PlainRemit is traced back to its official public source and computed by deterministic pipelines, not hand-entered. According to the World Bank's Remittance Prices Worldwide database, PlainRemit tracks 377 money-transfer corridors across 138 countries and 889 providers, where the average cost to send money is 7.3%, ranging from 0.3% on the cheapest corridor (Malaysia to Myanmar) to 118.2% on the most expensive (Turkey to Bulgaria). Our methodology sets out exactly how each dataset is sourced, computed, and refreshed, and the about page explains how we handle corrections when a reader flags something. The byline below is the publishing organization itself, not an individual writer: these pages are generated from documented pipelines rather than individually reported, so accountability for the framing and for correcting it sits with the publisher.
