How much does it cost to send money?
Fees depend on which country you're sending to. For some destinations, a transfer fee applies, you'll see the exact amount before you confirm. For others, there's no transfer fee, but we make a small margin on the exchange rate.
Either way, the full cost is shown upfront in the app. Check your destination's sending guide for the specifics.
