Mid-band transfer cost on Netherlands → Morocco
World Bank RPW tracks Netherlands → Morocco at 5.57% average cost as of 2025Q3.
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 9 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 crept up 0.47 percentage points over the tracked period, bucking the wider trend toward cheaper transfers seen on most corridors. It sits 2.6 pp above the UN SDG 10.c 3% target.
Netherlands → Morocco 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 8.8% in 2014Q4; the trough was 4.5% in 2023Q4. That 4.21pp 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 1.157pp - a wide swing band that rewards checking the current quarter. From 2024Q2 to 2025Q3, the average cost fell 0.96pp (6.5% → 5.6%).
Among the 7 outbound corridors tracked from Netherlands, 4 currently post a lower average cost than this route and 3 post a higher one (this corridor sits at 5.6%). 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.
