MomoCalc

MomoCalc — Intra-African remittance cost dataset: live provider fees and FX rates across 11 routes Africans use to send to each other (deliberately not the diaspora-to-Africa corridors the World Bank emphasises), decomposed per USD 100 basket into origin send fee, per-rail FX margin (1.5% wallet cross-border, 2.5% cross-currency cash, 3% bank correspondent) and destination cash-out band, built from the vendor's own live provider fee tables, daily FX rates and operator tariffs where published data is sparse.. Narrow but unique: 11 intra-African routes with full cost decomposition, positioning …

MomoCalc offers (Alternative, Price, Reference) — ~11 routes × providers per route × 3 cost components (origin fee, FX margin, destination cash-out) × at least 3 send-size bands (50/100/500+ USD), refreshed daily from FX feeds and continuously from the provider fee tables — order of 10^4-10^5 observations/year for the measured set. Breadth is deliberately narrow (11 routes) but the decomposition depth is greater than any public benchmark..

The only measured benchmark of intra-African (south-south) remittance cost, the gap left by World Bank Remittance Prices Worldwide — directly usable by Afreximbank, the African Union, PAPSS, EAC/SADC secretariats and central banks for corridor policy and PAPSS business cases; mobile-money and fintech pricing strategy for operators; financial-inclusion and welfare modelling of the fixed-fee small-amount tax; SDG 10.c monitoring by NGOs and researchers.
