Send money to Nepal
Nepal is compared here from 9 sending markets — the USA, the UK, Canada, Australia, the UAE, Singapore, Hong Kong, Malaysia and Qatar. Recipients are paid in Nepalese rupee (NPR), usually by eSewa, Khalti and IME Pay wallets, bank deposit and cash pickup.
Remittances are a major part of Nepal's economy, and payout coverage reaches well beyond Kathmandu.
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.

Checked and not available
- Prabhu Money Transfer from the USA — Removed rather than confirmed unavailable. Prabhu is a real Nepali remittance operator, but it publishes nothing a US sender can be pointed at: prabhumoneytransfer.com is parked for sale, and both prabhuonline.com and prabhumoneytransfer.com.np fail TLS verification (hostname mismatch and an expired certificate). Its row here was sourced only from the World Bank's price database. Nepal is one of the 25 corridors this site commits to maintaining, so every row must stand on the provider's own published page - and this one cannot.
- MoneyGram from the UAE — its UAE presence is agent-based and its UAE pages name no destination countries and publish no fee schedule, so there is nothing corridor-specific to point a reader at
- Wise from the UAE — the UAE is not on its published list of send-from countries; the dirham appears only as a receive currency within the UAE
- WorldRemit from the UAE — the UAE is not among the supported sending countries on its Middle East send-from page
- Remitly from Hong Kong — Remitly does not operate from Hong Kong. Its Hong Kong market root returns a 404, as does every Hong Kong corridor address tested in both its short and long URL forms.
- Remitly from Malaysia — Remitly does not operate from Malaysia. Its Malaysian market root returns a 404, as does every Malaysian corridor address tested.
- Wise from Malaysia — Wise serves this route but states no send amount on its Malaysian nepal page — it reads "Sending MYR" where its other Malaysian pages read "Sending 2,000 MYR". The cost shown (235.03 MYR) has no transfer size attached, so it cannot be turned into a percentage or compared with anything, and no Wise row is published here. The service is available; only its price is unverifiable from the page.
- Instarem from Qatar — Instarem does not serve Qatar outbound. Its Qatari market address redirects to the global home page, which then quotes a euro to rupee transfer — the redirect-to-homepage pattern that looks live to a status check but serves no Qatari product.
- MoneyGram from Qatar — MoneyGram has no Qatari consumer site. Its Qatari address redirects to the United States home page. It still carries Qatari money: Ooredoo Money names MoneyGram as one of the partners behind its own app, so the network is reachable in Qatar only through somebody else's shopfront.
- Remitly from Qatar — Remitly does not operate from Qatar, or from anywhere in the Gulf except the UAE. Qatar, Saudi Arabia, Kuwait, Bahrain and Oman each return a 404 on the provider's market root.
- Ria Money Transfer from Qatar — Ria publishes no Qatari site. Its Qatari address returns the provider's own page-not-found screen.
- Wise from Qatar — Wise does not operate from Qatar. Its Qatari send-money address returns the provider's own lost-page screen and redirects to the global home page.
