How to Send Money to Morocco
Several services let you send money from the US to Morocco. Compare them based on:
- Exchange rate: Look for services that use the "mid-market rate" (the real exchange rate with no markup)
- Fees: Some charge flat fees, others take a percentage. Lower fees are not always better if the exchange rate is poor
- Speed: Bank transfers take 1-3 business days; cash pickup is often same-day
- Delivery method: Bank transfer, cash pickup (e.g., at WafaCash or Cash Plus locations in Morocco), or mobile money
Tips
- Always compare the total cost (fees + exchange rate) not just the fee
- Many services offer first-transfer promotions with no fees
- Set up rate alerts to send when the exchange rate is favorable
- Avoid airport currency exchange kiosks - they have the worst rates
