Generally, fixed transfer fees become a smaller proportion of larger transfers. However, always use the comparison tool above with your specific amount, as rates and fees vary by provider.

Every provider adds a markup on the mid-market (interbank) rate. Some providers charge a fixed fee with a tighter exchange rate; others advertise “no fees” but recoup costs through a wider spread. SawaFX compares the total cost (exchange rate margin plus fees), so you always see the real amount your recipient gets.

SawaFX refreshes rates every 15 minutes directly from each provider. The rates shown always include all transfer fees and the FX markup, so the “amount received” you see is what your recipient would actually get, not a misleading headline rate.
