Terms of Service

Last updated: March 21, 2026

1. What RateCheckr Is

RateCheckr is a free, independent decision-support tool that provides informational comparisons of money transfer providers for the USD→INR corridor. We help you understand which provider delivers the most Indian rupees for your specific transfer amount on a given day.

We do not initiate, process, facilitate, or guarantee any money transfers. We are not a bank, money transmitter, financial advisor, or licensed broker. All transfers are conducted directly between you and the provider you choose.

2. No Financial, Tax, or Legal Advice

All content on RateCheckr — including rate comparisons, compliance checklists, articles, daily emails, and market intelligence — is provided for informational and educational purposes only. Nothing on this site or in our communications constitutes financial, investment, tax, or legal advice.

You are solely responsible for evaluating transfer providers, verifying rates and fees at the time of your transfer, understanding your tax and compliance obligations, and making your own financial decisions. We strongly recommend consulting a qualified tax professional or financial advisor for advice specific to your situation.

3. Accuracy and Limitations of Estimates

We aim to provide accurate, up-to-date estimates of exchange rates, fees, and delivery speeds. However, all figures shown on this site and in our emails are estimates. The actual amount your recipient receives may differ due to:

Rate fluctuations between our check time and your transfer time; changes in provider fee structures or promotional pricing; recipient bank charges or intermediary fees; differences in payment method (debit card or credit card funding typically costs more than bank/ACH); currency conversion rounding; and provider-specific limits or restrictions.

We check provider rates each morning, typically around 6:00 AM EST. Rates can and do change throughout the day. We do not guarantee that any ranking, amount, or recommendation shown will match your actual transfer outcome.

4. No Affiliation with Providers

RateCheckr is not affiliated with, endorsed by, or sponsored by any money transfer provider mentioned on this site, including but not limited to Wise (TransferWise), Remitly, Xoom (PayPal), Western Union, Xe, Ria, MoneyGram, or WorldRemit. All trademarks, service marks, and logos belong to their respective owners.

5. Referral Commissions and How We Make Money

RateCheckr is a free service. We may earn referral commissions when you click through to a provider from our site or emails and complete a transfer. This is how we keep the service free.

Referral commissions do not influence our rankings. A provider that pays us a higher commission does not rank higher. Rankings are based solely on estimated total ₹ received by your family. We will always show you the provider that delivers the most rupees for your amount, even if that provider pays us nothing.

When we add affiliate links in the future, they will be clearly disclosed. You never pay extra for using our links — the rate and fee you see on the provider's site is the same whether you came from RateCheckr or directly.

6. Email Communications

If you subscribe to our daily email:

You consent to receive daily comparison emails at the frequency and time we determine (currently 6:00 AM EST). You consent to receive a welcome email upon subscribing. You consent to receive occasional compliance deadline reminders embedded in your daily email. You may unsubscribe at any time by clicking the "Unsubscribe" link in any email or by contacting us at support@ratecheckr.co.

We track email opens and link clicks to improve our service and understand which providers our subscribers are interested in. See our Privacy Policy for details on how this data is handled.

7. Email Tracking Disclosure

Our emails contain a small tracking pixel (a 1x1 transparent image) that records when an email is opened, and provider links that pass through our tracking server before redirecting to the provider's website. This allows us to measure email engagement and understand which providers are most useful to our subscribers. No personally identifiable information is shared with providers through this tracking.

8. User Conduct

You agree not to: use automated scripts to scrape or extract data from this site; attempt to interfere with the operation of the site; misrepresent your identity or affiliation; use the site for any unlawful purpose; or redistribute our content without attribution.

9. Intellectual Property

All original content on RateCheckr — including text, design, code, email templates, articles, and methodology — is the intellectual property of RateCheckr. You may share links to our content and quote brief excerpts with attribution. You may not reproduce, republish, or redistribute substantial portions of our content without written permission.

10. Limitation of Liability

To the fullest extent permitted by applicable law, RateCheckr, its operators, contributors, and affiliates shall not be liable for any direct, indirect, incidental, special, consequential, or punitive damages arising from or related to: your use of or inability to use this site or our emails; any differences between estimated and actual transfer amounts; any transfer delays, failures, or disputes with providers; any tax penalties, compliance issues, or filing errors; or any decisions made based on information provided by RateCheckr.

This site is provided "as is" and "as available" without warranties of any kind, either express or implied.

11. Indemnification

You agree to indemnify and hold harmless RateCheckr and its operators from any claims, damages, or expenses arising from your use of the site, your violation of these Terms, or your violation of any third-party rights.

12. Compliance Content Disclaimer

Our compliance checklists, FBAR guides, FATCA information, and India tax content are educational summaries intended to raise awareness of potential filing obligations. They are not comprehensive, may not reflect the most recent regulatory changes, and should not be relied upon as a substitute for professional tax or legal advice. Filing requirements depend on your specific circumstances. Always consult a qualified CPA, tax attorney, or enrolled agent.

13. Third-Party Links

Our site contains links to third-party websites including provider websites, government filing portals, and educational resources. We are not responsible for the content, accuracy, privacy practices, or availability of these external sites.

14. Governing Law

These Terms shall be governed by and construed in accordance with the laws of the State of New Jersey, United States, without regard to conflict of law principles.

15. Dispute Resolution

Any disputes arising from or related to these Terms or your use of RateCheckr shall first be attempted to be resolved through good-faith negotiation. If negotiation fails, disputes shall be resolved through binding arbitration in Bergen County, New Jersey, in accordance with the rules of the American Arbitration Association.

16. Severability

If any provision of these Terms is found to be unenforceable, the remaining provisions shall continue in full force and effect.

17. Changes to Terms

We may update these Terms at any time. Material changes will be noted by updating the "Last updated" date at the top of this page. Continued use of the site after changes constitutes acceptance of the updated Terms.

Wise, Remitly, Xoom, and Western Union are trademarks of their respective owners. RateCheckr is not affiliated with or endorsed by these companies.

RateCheckr is a decision-support tool — not a money transfer service. We do not initiate or process transfers. RateCheckr is not affiliated with or endorsed by any provider mentioned. Rankings reflect estimated total ₹ received and are not influenced by referral commissions. We earn referral fees from some providers — you never pay extra. Rates are indicative and may vary at time of transfer. Historical context is not a prediction. Compliance content is educational only — not tax or legal advice. Consult a qualified professional.
