TransferWise has a dedicated team working on a pretty similar tool to compare fees and rates for sending money abroad. They have a lot of banks and other fintech companies: https://transferwise.com/gb/compare/

Are you just using their data and adding your affiliate link to it?

USA to HRK, only one option - transferwise. Are you sure you didn't build a transferwise clickbait? I know for a fact there are other services that do this transfer.

I have only implemented 3 providers - Transferwise, TransferGo and Currencyfair. I started this project around a week ago and want to gather some feedback as it's currently a proof of concept.

I am working on adding more providers. If you have any suggestions please let me know.

No. I have built my own API for this.

If you observe closely from that list most of the companies that are on there are banks. They don't really include competitors because they know that their rates will always beat the banks.

This seems heavily weighted reliant on transferwise. I picked a combo where I'm familiar with the many options, and it only listed Transferwise. Stopping short of making unsavory correlations here, I'll just say you should research adding more options before advertising it.

Thanks, I have only been working on this for around a week and I'm looking to add more countries and providers.

Could you let me know the combinations you searched so I can get those implemented at some point?
