Low transfer cost on Jordan → Egypt

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 13 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 on this route have stayed essentially flat, moving 0.01 percentage points over the tracked period, unusual stability against the broader downward trend seen on most corridors. Across 37 quarters on record, average cost ranged 2.3%–3.5%, with 27 quarters at or under the UN 3% target. It currently meets the UN SDG 10.c 3% target.
