How money actually moves here
Roughly seven in ten senders on South Africa to SADC routes do not use a licensed provider at all. We hold the informal channels on this corridor — which nodes, which routes, and how each one charges. A provider priced without reference to them is priced against a competitor it has never seen.
| Channel | Priced | Speed | Requires |
|---|---|---|---|
| Licensed money transfer operatorsformal · not yet measured | Published fee plus an unpublished margin in the rate | Minutes to two days | Identity documents, proof of address, and a stated purpose of payment |
| Bank transferformal · not yet measured | Flat international fee plus the spread | One to three working days | An account, and exchange control paperwork above threshold |
| Carrier channel, urban transport nodeinformal · not yet measured | in the brief | in the brief | No documents |
| Carrier channel, long-distance routeinformal · not yet measured | in the brief | in the brief | No documents |
The formal rows are public knowledge and cost nothing to restate. The informal ones are not published anywhere, which is why they are not published here — the named nodes, the routes and the fee basis are in the brief. Channels are recorded at channel level throughout: no carrier or intermediary is named, here or there.
Who will onboard you
