What is the cheapest way to send money to Mexico?

How much do banks charge to send money to Mexico?

A typical bank charges around 3.3% all-in on the USD to MXN corridor, mostly through a hidden FX margin rather than an upfront fee. That is why the number on your receipt rarely matches what actually leaves your account.

Is the stablecoin (USDT) route to Mexico really cheaper?

The honest all-in cost of the USDT route on this corridor is a range: 1.3% to 4.8%, counting the buy spread, the sell spread, the on-chain fee, the cash-out, and any local tax. It is cheaper only when that full range beats the best transfer app, which is exactly the comparison this page runs live.

How long does a transfer to Mexico take?

A transfer app is usually minutes to a day. The stablecoin route is the fastest to move on-chain (the Tron (TRC-20) leg settles in seconds), but the buy and off-ramp steps depend on the exchange and your local cash-out method. A bank wire is typically the slowest, often one to three business days.
