Interrogative sentence using Which and Ever

I have come across a question (with multiple options, to choose from) asked in the Survey Questionnaire, which is given below:

Which of these providers for sending money outside of <Name of the Country> have you ever used ?

'Ever' is mostly used to get the answer 'No'. Whereas, 'Which' in the sentence compels to choose answer(s) from the given options. I feel both terms are contradictory and I feel " Have you ever used <b>any</> of these providers for sending money outside

Is the sentence grammatically correct and meaningful to use 'which' and 'ever' to construct an Interrogative sentence?

Thank you in advance.

The original sentence is OK, though it would work just fine without ever . Ever does, however, stress that for each of the listed providers they want to know if you have ever used it, even if you only used it once. Western Union: Yes.
