Everyone wins, except expensive solutions

With our model, the only losers are the expensive banks or providers you’ll stop using!

To ensure our independence, we always use transparent, objective and verifiable criteria in our comparison. No provider can buy their way to the top of our results.

We include as many providers as possible in our comparison and have partnerships with almost all major and innovative providers.

We make sure you never pay more than if you went directly to the provider of your choice. We even negotiate special offers for you with many of our partners.

You save money on your transfer by selecting the cheapest provider.
The best providers earn new customers without expensive marketing, helping keep their costs (and prices) low.
Monito receives a referral fee from the provider you selected. This enables us to offer our service to you for free.

Questions you may have

How can I use Monito to find the best option to send money to Costa Rica?

Before each international money transfer, you should come and compare the costs of the different options on Monito, as they may have changed. The cheapest option is at the top, of our results but you may want to consider other criteria such as the speed of transaction or the pay-in or pay-out methods.
I simply use my bank to send money to Costa Rica, do I really need to compare other options?

Of course! Banks are usually not the best way to make international money transfers. The fees can be quite low (and sometimes even zero), but beware of the poor exchange rates which banks often apply. We list as many banks as possible in our results, so do compare to find out if you’d be better off switching to another bank or a specialized money transfer company.
Can I trust a company I found on Monito but never heard about before?

Yes. We only list money transfer operators or banks that are fully authorized and monitored by the regulation authorities of the countries where they operate.
Is it possible to send money with Monito, or are you just a service to compare money transfer services?

Monito is not a money transfer company. We’re here to help you find the best way to send money to Costa Rica.
