Eversend or Taptap Send? Compare what the person at home gets.
The short answer
On a pure send-home corridor, compare the live rate on your route and let the numbers decide: send-focused apps price those routes hard, and so do we. The structural difference is what happens at the other end. A transfer app's job ends when the money cashes out. With Eversend, the person at home has an account too: they can hold what you send in 16 currencies, get paid from abroad into USD, EUR and GBP account details, spend on a virtual Visa card, and send onward, including out of Africa. You're not just moving money to family. You're both banked in the same app.
The person you send to isn't a cash-out point: they hold the money in their own Eversend account, in the currency they choose, and decide when to convert. Money you send in January can still be dollars in June.
🔁Money moves onward, not just in
From an Eversend account in Africa, money can go out again: to a USD, GBP or EUR bank account abroad, to another African country, or to mobile money next door. Check which of those the app you're comparing can do after the money lands.
💳It spends without cashing out
A virtual USD Visa card from $0.99 pays for school fees portals, subscriptions and online shops directly from the balance, so value doesn't leak through cash-out fees and street FX on its way to being used.
🧾The rate is shown before you send
Rate and fee upfront, every time, and delivery medians measured over our last 90 days of production transfers are published on this site. Compare the live rate on your corridor against any app, same amount, same moment.
🛡Licensed where it counts
Bank of Uganda licences, FinCEN registration in the US, and remittance authorisation in Kenya. Customer funds are safeguarded and segregated.
Compare on what matters.
Here’s where Eversend stands on each. Run Taptap Send and any other app you’re weighing through the same list, and see how they answer.

On a single send-home corridor, check the live rate on your route and let the numbers decide. The structural difference is the other end: with Eversend the person at home holds an account too, so they can keep value in the currency they choose, receive from abroad, spend on a card, and send onward. If your family's money life is bigger than cashing out, that's the comparison.
Try Eversend and decide for yourself.
Download the app, check the live rate on your corridor, and see if it fits.
