It is a snapshot from that survey quarter, not a live guarantee -- confirm the current rate directly with the provider before sending.
Costs here have eased 0.44 percentage points over the tracked period, a real if modest gain for senders as competition increased. Across 37 quarters on record, average cost ranged 3.9%–16.6%, with 0 quarters at or under the UN 3% target. It sits 1.4 pp above the UN SDG 10.c 3% target.
