The cheapest transfers to Haiti carry no transfer fee and show the rate before you send. With MAJORITY, transfers to Haiti are fee-free and paid to a MonCash mobile wallet.
Quick answer
A money transfer to Haiti costs you two things: the transfer fee and the margin built into the exchange rate. With MAJORITY, transfers to Haiti are fee-free at the member tier, so $0 goes to a transfer fee, and you see the exchange rate before you confirm. The money is paid to a MonCash mobile wallet, and your recipient receives Haitian gourde (HTG). The $5.99 monthly membership applies separately and is not a per-transfer fee.

What makes a money transfer cheap
The price of sending money has two parts. The first is the transfer fee, a flat amount the service charges to move your money. The second is the exchange rate margin, a smaller amount added on top of the market rate when your dollars convert to the local currency. A transfer can look cheap because the fee is low, then cost more because the rate is wide. To compare fairly, look at the all-in cost: the fee plus the rate you actually get.
With MAJORITY, transfers to Haiti have no transfer fee at the member tier, and the rate is shown before you confirm. That means you can see the full cost of the transfer in the app, rather than discovering it after the money is on its way.
