What we've measured on USD → GTQ
Across 64 days of our own recorded quotes, the gap between the best and worst provider on this corridor has run at a median of 3.8% (widest single day: 4.0%). On a 1,000 USD transfer that is the difference between the best and worst choice.
The leader has not changed once in that window — TapTap Send has topped this corridor every day we have recorded it. That makes it unusually stable, but it is still worth checking before you send.
Provider rates on this corridor are measured against Wise's published mid-market rate. No central bank publishes a rate for GTQ, so the yardstick here comes from Wise — which we also rank, and which therefore sits exactly at the reference by definition. We disclose this rather than hide it.
Recipients in Guatemala can be paid via a bank account, cash pickup, a mobile wallet and a debit card, based on what the providers above actually price for this corridor.
Figures come from our own append-only rate history, not from provider marketing. See the methodology and rate trends.
Sending USD from the United States
Money transfer companies operating from the United States are registered as Money Services Businesses (MSBs) with the Financial Crimes Enforcement Network (FinCEN) and are licensed as money transmitters at the state level. Senders typically pay by bank account (ACH), debit card or credit card, and larger transfers may require identity verification before they settle.
This page compares providers for the the United States → Guatemala corridor specifically, ranked by how much GTQ your recipient actually receives after fees and the exchange-rate margin — not by the headline fee alone.
USD to GTQ — Frequently asked questions
What is the cheapest way to send USD to GTQ?
TapTap Send currently offers the best value for USD → GTQ, delivering 7,600 GTQ for 1,000 USD. We rank by the total amount received after fees and exchange-rate markup, updated every 4 hours. It has also led on every one of the 64 days we have recorded this corridor, so the answer here has been stable.
What is the current USD to GTQ exchange rate?
The best available rate is 1 USD = 7.60 GTQ via TapTap Send. The reference (mid-market) rate is 7.64, taken from Wise's published mid-market rate. Across 64 days of our own records, the spread between the best and worst provider on this corridor has run at a median of 3.8%. Rates are updated every 4 hours. Always confirm the final rate on the provider's site before sending.
Are there hidden fees when sending USD to GTQ?
On this corridor the two costs split roughly 1.51% in visible fees and 1.23% in exchange-rate markup, averaged over the 5 providers here that publish a fee — so the markup is the smaller part, about 45% of what you pay. 1 of them charge no fee at all on this corridor, which is exactly why fee alone is a poor guide. We rank by the amount your recipient actually receives, which captures both. Learn how fees work →
