Core Workflows

Compare Providers

Compare transfer options step by step for a corridor, amount, and date range.

This workflow is the core of FXScanner. You set the transfer scenario you care about, apply filters, and then compare providers side by side using consistent inputs.

Before daily use, set your default filters in Profile Settings. Your defaults make this workflow faster and power your Favorites baseline.

What each filter means

Use this model when you build a comparison:

  • Country From: where funds are sent from.
  • Country To: where funds are received.
  • Provider: transfer service(s) you want to compare.
  • Deposit method: how the sender pays.
  • Payout method: how the receiver gets funds.
  • Amount: transfer amount used for cost and outcome comparison.
  • Date range: period used for historical comparison in table and chart views.

Step 1: Open Remittance Data

Open Remittance Data. The page starts from your profile defaults, so you usually only need to adjust what changed for this specific task.

Step 2: Set the exact comparison scenario

Select corridor, methods, providers, amount, and date range before applying. Keep all values aligned with your real use case, otherwise you may compare providers under mixed conditions.

If a filter option is missing, that usually means one of these:

  1. It is outside your current tier limits.
  2. It is unavailable for the selected date range and corridor.

Step 3: Click Apply and review results

Click Apply to fetch data. This is the action that runs the comparison query. You can then sort and scan the table to evaluate fee, FX, receive amount, and other relevant fields for your decision.

Clicking Apply or applying a preset uses 1 credit. Changing chart or table settings does not use credits. CSV export and each AI request use 1 credit.

Step 4: Refine and repeat

After the first result set, refine one variable at a time (for example amount or provider selection) and apply again. Iterating this way helps you isolate what is driving cost differences.

When you find a setup you reuse often, save it as a preset using Saved Filters.

For trend interpretation, continue to Chart Builder.
