What you will make
A side-by-side calculation showing how many pesos the recipient would get from each quote, without invented rates or provider claims.
What you need
Two live quotes showing the send amount, upfront fee, offered exchange rate, receiving method and exact recipient payout when available.
Before you start
Remove names, account numbers, recipient details, reference or claim codes, PINs and OTPs. Quotes can expire, so record when each quote was shown.
What to do
- Open each provider's official app or page and record the quote shown at about the same time.
- Copy only the send amount, upfront fee, offered exchange rate and exact recipient payout. Do not copy personal or transfer codes.
- Use the prompt below to compare the two quotes using only those numbers.
- Before sending, reopen the chosen provider and confirm the final fee, rate and recipient payout because quotes can change.

Use two current provider quotes. Do not ask the AI to find today's rate for you.
Compare these remittance quotes using only the figures and terms I provide. Focus on what the recipient actually receives; do not guess live exchange rates or fees.
TRANSFER
Amount I will send: [AMOUNT + CURRENCY]
Destination currency: [CURRENCY]
QUOTE A
Provider: [NAME]
Send amount/debit: [AMOUNT]
Transfer fee: [AMOUNT / INCLUDED / TO CONFIRM]
Exchange rate shown: [RATE / TO CONFIRM]
Recipient receives: [AMOUNT / TO CONFIRM]
Other fee/condition shown: [FACTS / NONE]
QUOTE B
[SAME FIELDS]
RULES
- Never invent a live market rate, provider fee, promo, tax, payout, transfer time or exchange-rate markup.
- Preserve currencies and units exactly.
- Keep provider-quoted figures separate from calculations derived from those figures.
- If recipient amount is supplied, prioritize that as the direct payout comparison; do not reconstruct it differently unless I ask for a check.
- If you calculate an effective rate or total cost, show the formula and label it “derived from supplied figures.”
- A missing fee/rate for one provider is “To confirm,” not zero.
- Do not choose a provider for me.
OUTPUT
1. Same-row quote table.
2. Recipient payout difference.
3. Known fees and total debit where calculable.
4. Derived effective rate only when supported.
5. Promo/condition differences explicitly stated in the quotes.
6. Missing facts that could reverse the comparison.
7. Questions to verify in each provider’s official app/site before sending.
Recompute arithmetic once and flag any quote whose supplied figures do not reconcile.See a sample result
Illustrative example. Your answer may differ.
Input (illustrative): Both quotes send USD 500. A shows a USD 3 fee and PHP 28,800 recipient payout. B shows no upfront fee and PHP 28,550 recipient payout. Example result: “A pays the recipient PHP 250 more. A also lists a separate USD 3 fee. The figures use only the two quotes; confirm both again before sending.”
Before you use it: Choose from the final official quote, not the AI summary. Verify the provider through an appropriate regulator where applicable. A BSP listing is a registration check, not a guarantee that a transaction is risk-free.

List every number that came from me and every number you calculated. Mark any missing value To confirm.
If the answer is not right
If the totals look wrong, ask for the formula line by line. Do not send money until the official provider screen shows the final fee and recipient payout.
Philippine notes
- Never share remittance reference numbers, claim codes, or OTPs on social media or in public group chats.
