Comparison
Providers serving the Somalia corridor
Each card says whether the provider is a hawala network or a licensed digital service. That distinction affects reach, speed and how the transfer is regulated — often more than the fee does.
Dahabshiil
Hawala networkThe largest money-transfer business in Africa, headquartered in Dubai and operating across more than 150 countries. World Bank data recorded its transfer fee at 2.3% of the amount sent (May 2024) — treat that as indicative rather than a live quote, since pricing varies by corridor and payout method.
Taaj
Hawala networkLong-established Somali transfer network with dense agent coverage inside Somalia, widely used for cash payout in areas the digital services do not reach. No public fee schedule was found during research — confirm pricing directly before relying on a figure.
Amal Express
Hawala networkSomali transfer network serving more than 50 countries. Amal states that the total cost — fees and exchange rate together — is shown before you confirm the transaction, but does not publish a fixed schedule to reproduce here.
WorldRemit
Licensed digital serviceRegulated digital remittance service with strong mobile-money coverage in Somalia. Fees vary by send country, amount and payout method and are quoted before you confirm.
Wise
Licensed digital serviceWise's Somalia coverage is limited compared with the specialist operators and depends on your send country and the receiving account. Check availability for your specific corridor before planning around it.
