How remittance pricing actually works
When you wire money abroad through a bank, you usually pay two fees: an explicit wire fee ($25–$45) and a hidden FX spread (1.5–4% worse than the mid-market rate). On a $1000 transfer to Mexico, the hidden spread alone is $15–$40 - often more than the visible wire fee.
Conversions are quoted at the mid-market rate, with the cost charged as a visible fee rather than buried in the rate. Transfer fees are published per rail and quoted with the transfer, before you confirm it.
Check the destination currency and receiving rail before comparing quotes. The receive amount depends on both the exchange rate and the transfer fee.
