About Jara
Get Extra from Every Transfer
We compare remittance rates so you don't have to check every provider yourself.
The Problem
Sending money to Africa? You're probably not getting the best deal. Exchange rates and fees vary wildly between providers — and checking 8+ websites individually every time you want to send money is tedious and time-consuming. By the time you've compared them all, the rates may have already changed.
Our Solution
Jara compares exchange rates and fees from 8 leading money transfer providers across 15 corridors, updated multiple times a day. In seconds, you can see exactly who offers the best rate for your specific transfer — no more tab-hopping between provider websites.
What "Jara" Means
"Jara" is Nigerian slang for "extra" — that little bonus you get on top of a deal. That's exactly what we help you get: extra naira, extra cedis, extra shillings in every transfer. Because every bit counts when you're sending money home.
How It Works
- Choose Your Corridor — Select where you're sending from and to, and enter how much you want to send.
- Compare Rates — See live rates from all providers side by side, ranked by how much your recipient gets.
- Send with Confidence — Click through to your chosen provider and complete your transfer knowing you got the best deal.
Our Business Model
Jara is free to use. We earn a commission when you click through to a provider and make a transfer — at no extra cost to you. This is how we keep the lights on. Importantly, our comparisons are not influenced by these partnerships — we always rank providers by how much your recipient receives.
