The real cost of your transfer, free

"Zero fees" doesn't mean zero cost.

A transfer's real price hides in the exchange rate, not in the fee line. Compare the rate you're quoted with today's rate: the difference is what you actually pay.

The rate, not the fees

A transfer has two prices: the fee you see, and the gap between the rate you're given and the real market rate. The first is printed. The second hides inside every dirham received, and it's almost always the bigger one.

Posted fees take one second to compare. The exchange-rate margin is printed nowhere: you have to compute it.
That's why "zero fees" is a sales pitch, not a price: the revenue simply moves into the rate.
The World Bank has measured this total cost for years: on average 6.4% of the amount sent worldwide, with classic channels still the most expensive.

What the numbers say

According to the World Bank (Remittance Prices Worldwide No. 54, Q3 2025), sending money costs 6.36% of the amount on average worldwide; digital channels average 4.59%, and banks remain the most expensive. Pricing models differ: some players such as Wise show the mid-market rate and charge a separate fee; banks and classic cash-transfer operators such as Western Union or MoneyGram most often build their margin into the applied rate. No model is "free". The only honest question is: how many dirhams arrive on the other side?

FAQ
Can I really send money to Morocco with zero fees?

Because a transfer has two prices: the posted fee and the margin slipped into the exchange rate. When fees drop to zero, the revenue doesn't vanish, it moves into the rate. The only number that can't lie: how many dirhams arrive on the other side.

What is the mid-market CAD to MAD rate?

It's the foreign-exchange market rate at a given moment, the one a neutral converter shows, halfway between buy and sell prices. Nobody transfers at exactly that rate, but it's THE honest reference for measuring the margin you're charged.

What is the CAD to MAD exchange rate today?

It moves every day. The rate pre-filled here is a hand-recorded, dated reference, never an automatic feed: the date tells you exactly what you're comparing against, and you can replace it with today's rate in one tap, taken from any neutral converter.

Can Namup send money to Morocco?

No, by design. Namup is neither a bank nor a transfer service: it's the app that makes sense of your money on both sides. This calculator helps you understand what you pay; the choice of channel stays entirely yours.
