Thin provider panel on France → Haiti
RPW records only 5 providers on France → Haiti - below the fleet panel tercile (~6). Average cost is 4.86%.
That cheapest figure comes from the World Bank's mystery-shopping survey: trained researchers pose as customers and obtain real quotes for a standardized $200 transfer, across the 5 banks, money transfer operators, post offices and mobile-money providers RPW tracks on this corridor. 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 0.85 percentage points over the tracked period, a real if modest gain for senders as competition increased. It sits 1.9 pp above the UN SDG 10.c 3% target.
France → Haiti Long-Track Cost Profile
This is a high-depth World Bank RPW corridor (54 quarterly average-cost readings) - enough history to measure how concentrated the cost path has been, not just the latest quarter. Peak average cost on record was 16.6% in 2011Q3; the trough was 4.9% in 2025Q3. That 11.70pp peak-to-trough span is the multi-year envelope thin-history corridors cannot show.
Across the full 54-quarter panel, 0 readings (0.0% share) landed at or under the UN SDG 3% target. Population standard deviation of the average-cost series is 2.885pp - a wide swing band that rewards checking the current quarter. From 2024Q2 to 2025Q3, the average cost fell 6.69pp (11.5% → 4.9%).
Among the 15 outbound corridors tracked from France, 7 currently post a lower average cost than this route and 8 post a higher one (this corridor sits at 4.9%). That peer-rank read is only honest once the sender book is deep enough - sparse zero-history routes skip it because sibling counts alone do not make a long RPW track record.
