Estimates only, not live quotes. "Recipient Gets" is for a bank deposit funded from a bank account, on today's mid-market rate: for a "provider quote", minus the rate markup and fee from that provider's own recent quote; for an estimate, minus the provider's typical markup and fee. Rows are ranked by total cost, the fee plus the rate markup, so a fee charged on top of the amount sent counts against a provider even when its recipient gets more. Real cost varies by corridor, amount, delivery and payment method, and promotions (e.g. new-customer offers can be cheaper). Tap a provider to get its live rate before sending. The dot by each provider shows confidence, and the label says how the figure was grounded: "corridor estimate" is a rate we measured for this exact pair; a currency-code estimate (e.g. "USD estimate") is measured for that source currency but not this destination; "typical estimate" is the provider's general figure across all its corridors; "provider quote" is that provider's own recent quote for this pair, its markup and fee applied to today's mid-market rate exactly as its calculator shows them, and a provider whose quote depends on a payment or delivery choice is left out here and priced on its own calculator. Margins are verified against live provider quotes and the World Bank Remittance Prices database; the date above is the most recent collection. Some “Send money now” buttons are partner links: we may earn a commission if you sign up, at no cost to you, and rows are ranked by cost whatever the link.

What you actually get for 1,000 USD
Nobody converts at the mid-market rate. At 1 USD = 26.9301 HNL, a perfect conversion of 1,000 USD would be 26,930 HNL. Here is what 8 services would really send, fee and exchange-rate margin included.

Typical pricing for a bank-funded transfer to a bank account, not a live quote. Promotional offers and payment method can change it. Check the provider before sending. Where we price a service from its own recent quotes, its row uses the fee and rate margin from that quote. Some services we price from their own quotes are not in this table, because their quote for this pair depends on a payment or delivery choice or we hold none for it, so “cheapest” is among the services shown. Each is priced on its own calculator.

How can Americans send money to Honduras?
Banks, money transfer operators and online services send dollars to Honduras, to bank accounts, mobile wallets or for cash pickup. Compare the lempiras the recipient gets after the fee and the exchange-rate margin, not the advertised fee alone. The comparison on this page prices the services we have quotes for. See our Send Money to Honduras guide for a full breakdown.
What moves the USD to HNL rate?
The lempira is not fixed to the US dollar at a set rate; the Banco Central de Honduras sets exchange-rate policy, and the rate moves with supply and demand for dollars in Honduras.
When is the best time to send dollars to Honduras?
Exchange rates can't be forecast reliably, so waiting for a better day is a guess. Regular transfers on a schedule smooth out the movements between dollars and lempiras. The service you pick matters more than the date: the comparison on this page shows how much each service we have quotes for delivers.
