What you see is what your family receives. We don't profit on exchange rate margins — our only revenue is the flat transfer fee.
"I've been sending money to my mother in Gondar for three years. Before birr.cash, I was losing $12–15 in fees every single transfer. Now it's $1.99 flat. That adds up to over $400 saved."
"My family in Addis needed money urgently for a medical bill. birr.cash delivered in 4 minutes at 2am on a Sunday. No other service I've tried comes close to that speed."
"The exchange rate is genuinely the best I've found. I checked four other apps before my first transfer. birr.cash gave 126.43 when everyone else was offering 122–123."
"My parents are not tech savvy. The SMS notification they get in Amharic — that detail alone is worth everything. They know exactly what arrived without needing to call me."
"I support three family members in different cities across Ethiopia. The bulk send feature and saved recipient addresses save me so much time each month."
