Why trust Plyna

Numbers you can trace. Not numbers we made up.

Real quotes

Every provider rate is a real quote we collected on a real day — never modelled. The one estimate, the bank baseline, is always labelled as one.

Mid-market exposed

Every quoted rate is compared against the true mid-market rate. The hidden margin is visible.

Dated snapshots

Every figure traces back to a real quote on a real day. If we're wrong, you can check.

Independent rankings

No provider pays for placement. The order is the recipient amount — full stop.

The problem

The number you see is not the number they get.

Money-transfer providers compete on slogans. The amount that lands in your recipient's account is rarely what the marketing suggests.

“No fees”

Usually means the provider hides their cost inside a worse exchange rate. You pay anyway — just somewhere you can't see.

“Best rate”

Refers to the marketing rate, not the effective rate. Every provider applies a margin between what they quote and what they use.

£1,000 sent

Through five providers, the same amount lands as five different totals. A £25+ swing isn't unusual.

How it works

Real quotes. Real rates. Real recipient amounts.

Step 01

Collect

We collect real quotes daily from the providers we can reach — Wise, Remitly, WorldRemit, Ria and more — across the corridors we track, and show plainly when a provider's data isn't yet available.

Step 02

Strip the margin

Each quoted rate is compared against the true mid-market rate, exposing the hidden margin in both pence and percent.

Step 03

Rank by reality

Providers are ranked by the recipient amount — the number that ends up in the recipient's account. Nothing else matters.

Our mission

Money transfers should be honest.

Every year, billions of pounds move through cross-border transfer providers. Most of the cost is hidden — buried inside exchange rates that look great in marketing but tell only half the story. Plyna exists to surface the truth: what your recipient actually gets, ranked across every major provider, using real quotes collected on real days.

Corridors tracked

Ten corridors. More coming.

Every snapshot uses £1,000 as the reference amount, so comparisons are apples-to-apples.
