Mid-sized transfer

500 GBP to AUD — How much is £500 in AUD today?

Transfers in the $500–$2,000 range are typical of monthly family remittances, freelancer payouts, and one-off bill payments abroad. This is where the rate margin (the hidden cost in the exchange rate) starts to outweigh the upfront fee.
