Send money to Ethiopia
Ethiopia is compared here from 5 sending markets — the USA, the UK, Canada, Australia and the UAE. Recipients are paid in Ethiopian birr (ETB), usually by telebirr and CBE Birr mobile wallets, bank deposit and cash pickup.
telebirr reaches far more people than bank branches, and wallet delivery is usually both faster and cheaper than a bank transfer.
On 4 of these routes a like-for-like recipient amount was checked against the mid-market rate, so the cards below can say what the best provider actually pays.
