About this app

What Corridor does

Corridor is the pocket notebook for the person who sends money internationally — to a family member abroad, to a foreign student, to a contractor, to a vendor — and wants to actually understand what the corridor costs before they wire it. It is a reference and a record, not a money mover. The World Bank tracks global average remittance cost at ~6.2% in Q1 2026 (down from 6.4% in 2024). The cheapest providers come in under 1%. The most expensive are still over 8%. The same $1,000 transfer to Mexico can cost the sender between $5 and $80 depending on which app they pick. Most senders don't know. Corridor is the side-by-side reference tool that doesn't actually move money — and therefore doesn't have to choose a provider for you, doesn't take a referral fee, and doesn't need an account. What ships in v1: — Corridor presets: 30+ common US-outbound corridors (Mexico, India, Philippines, China, Vietnam, Pakistan, Brazil, Ghana, Nigeria, Bangladesh, Egypt, Colombia, El Salvador, Guatemala, Honduras, Dominican Republic, Ecuador, Peru, Argentina, Poland, Ukraine, UK, Eurozone, Australia, Canada, Japan, Korea, Israel, Lebanon, Morocco, Kenya). — Provider fee table: bundled, public, January-2026 fee snapshots from Wise, Remitly, WorldRemit, Western Union, MoneyGram, Xoom, OFX, Revolut, Ria, Sendwave, MoneyGo (per the World Bank Remittance Prices Worldwide methodology) — flat fee, percent fee, exchange-rate margin, and effective total cost on a $200/$500/$1000 send. — Send calculator: enter the amount you plan to send and the corridor — Corridor computes each provider's effective rate and total cost from the bundled table. — Manual rate notebook: log the actual rate you got — date, provider, amount, rate, fee. Over time you build your own historical rate sheet. Useful for tax basis tracking on FX-sensitive transactions. — Wire reference: SWIFT vs IBAN vs ABA quick reference, common transfer-time expectations, weekend / holiday cutoff notes. — No 'Pro,' no in-app purchases, no referral links. Corridor does not move money and does not get paid by any of the providers it lists. Corridor is for the immigrant sending money home, the parent of a student abroad, the freelancer paid in a foreign currency, the small-business importer, and everyone who knows the difference between 'no fee' and 'no markup.' Corridor is informational software. Provider fees change frequently — always confirm the current price at the provider before initiating a transfer. Corridor does not move money, does not hold money, is not a financial advisor, is not regulated as a money transmitter.
