What kind of sites get cited
This is what AI links to as its sources, which is not the same as the brands it names above. AI often recommends a provider by name but sends the citation to a publisher or affiliate instead, so “First-party brand” means a link to the provider’s own website. Here is the mix by engine.

The themes behind the recommendations
Looking past the brand names, these are the concepts and buyer intent the AI answers kept returning to for this product. Each finding starts with what the engines foreground, then what it means for you.
Money transfer answers are a lesson in true cost. The models repeatedly separate the exchange rate from the headline fee and judge providers on the all-in number.
The mid-market rate is the benchmark
Answers anchor on the real mid-market exchange rate and how far a provider marks it up. Buyers learn the rate hides the cost, which rewards providers that pass through the mid-market rate transparently.
Total cost beats advertised fees
The models add the spread and the fee together rather than quoting either alone. A low headline fee will not win if the rate is poor, so transparent all-in pricing is the edge.
Delivery method and size are filters
Cash pickup versus bank delivery, and small versus large transfers, change the recommendation. The AI segments by how and how much you send, so providers strong in a specific lane should say so.
