International Transfer Fees Explained

When comparing money transfer services, the lowest advertised fee does not always mean the lowest total cost. The exchange rate and delivery method can also affect how much your recipient receives.

The three costs to compare

Transfer fee

This is the service fee charged for processing your transfer. It may vary based on the destination, amount, and payment method.

Exchange rate

The exchange rate determines how your sending currency converts into the recipient’s currency. Even a small difference can matter on larger or regular transfers.

Delivery or receiving costs

Depending on the destination and delivery method, a bank, wallet provider, or local partner may apply additional charges. Check the available details before you confirm.

Ways to keep more value in your transfer

1. Compare the total amount your recipient will receive, not only the headline fee.
2. Review the rate and fee before every transfer because they can change.
3. Choose the delivery method that fits the amount and urgency.
4. Plan recurring transfers so you can review your options instead of sending in a rush.
