Send money abroad

The true cost of an international transfer is never just the upfront fee. Providers mark up the exchange rate by 0.3–3% on top of any flat fee, so a “$0 fee” transfer can still cost you $15–$30 on a $1,000 send. Every corridor page on ForexFee breaks the total cost into its two components — fee and margin — so you can compare providers on an apples-to-apples basis.

Speed and delivery method matter, too. Bank deposits are typically the cheapest delivery option, but if the recipient needs cash pickup or a mobile wallet top-up, the set of available providers narrows. Our corridor pages show which providers serve each delivery method and how long the transfer takes.

For a data-driven walkthrough of how much these differences add up to, see our study comparing 15 providers across 10 corridors. The short version: switching from a bank wire to the cheapest fintech option saves $30–$60 per $1,000 sent, every single time.
