Frequently Asked Questions

Banks and money transfer services often advertise “zero fees” or “no commission” while applying a worse exchange rate than the real mid-market rate. This markup is a hidden fee that can cost you more than a transparent upfront fee.

The mid-market rate (also called the interbank rate) is the midpoint between the buy and sell prices of two currencies. It’s the rate you see on Google or XE.com; banks use it to trade among themselves. It is the fairest benchmark for consumers.

Simply search “1 [your currency] to [target currency]” on Google, or visit XE.com. Compare that rate with the one your provider offers.

Even a 1% hidden markup means you lose $10 on a $1,000 transfer. Many providers add 2–5% or more, especially for less common currency pairs. Use this calculator to see the exact impact.

Use services that offer the real mid-market rate with low, clearly disclosed fees (e.g., Wise or Revolut). Always compare the offered rate to the mid-market rate before confirming a transfer.

Hidden Fee = (Mid‑Market Rate − Provider’s Rate) × Send Amount (if rates are expressed as “1 send unit = X receive units”).
Percentage Cost = ((Mid‑Market Rate − Provider’s Rate) / Mid‑Market Rate) × 100%.
This reveals the exact hidden markup.
