# ForexFee — Complete Site Content for AI > ForexFee is a free, independent comparison platform for international money transfers, travel cards, freelancer payment platforms, and global investing. No affiliate commissions. Rankings by true cost to the user. ## About ForexFee was built by Aayush Jain to solve a single problem: most comparison sites rank providers by who pays them the highest commission, not who is cheapest for the user. ForexFee inverts this — every ranking is by true cost: transfer fee + FX margin together, not separately. The site covers four verticals: remittances (sending money internationally), travel (spending abroad with the right card), payments (freelancers receiving international income), and investing (buying stocks across borders with minimum FX drag).
