MoneyGram — routes, payout methods & regulation

Coverage checked 2026-09-23 on MoneyGram's own website. All providers

MoneyGram is a money transfer company. Below is what its own website says about the routes fin·calc tracks: where it sends, how recipients can be paid and how you can pay — each row linked to the page we checked. We don't publish its fees or exchange rates, because they change by amount, payment and payout method; get a live quote from www.moneygram.com and paste it into our transfer calculator to see its true cost against the reference rate.

How MoneyGram says it charges

'Our exchange rate is based on the closing rates available on the financial markets globally plus a margin.' Corridor page: 'MoneyGram makes money from currency exchange.' source

Whatever the headline fee, compare what your recipient actually gets: the exchange rate used can cost more than the fee. Our true cost calculator splits the two.

Regulation (as stated by MoneyGram)

'Authorized to do business in all 50 states, D.C. and all U.S. territories.' (state licensing page) source
MoneyGram International Limited ... authorised and regulated by the Financial Conduct Authority ('FCA'), Reference no. 502639. source

Check the regulator's own register before sending large amounts.

"Could not verify" means the official page was unavailable to us or silent — not that the route doesn't exist. Methods are only those the page states; an empty list means the page didn't say. Delivery times and limits aren't listed because we haven't verified them per route.
