What Fees Will I Have to Pay?

We let you send money overseas cheaply at interbank rates with just a nominal exchange fee. The exact percentage we charge is mentioned on the order flow for you to check. Also, in case you select our Quick and Easy payment assistance, you will have to pay an additional fee of 0.39%.

Apart from the margin we keep for our profit, we do not charge any extra fee to send money internationally. However, you should keep in mind that intermediary bank fees may have to be paid which gets deducted from the final sum. It is always worth asking your bank before sending to get a better idea if they charge any receiving fees.
