About our fees
Our fees are always fair and transparent. We apply a 0.4% fee to the currency conversion and a small delivery fee to cover our costs.

Our exchange rates explained
We know how important a great exchange rate is when you’re sending money abroad. Here’s how we keep ours competitive:
No hidden fees
Banks often add sneaky hidden fees of up to 5%. We don’t – you’ll know about any fees before you incur them. Your money, your decision – just how it should be.
A fair rate
The exchange rate we use is the actual market rate we are charged for buying and selling currencies. Use our currency converter calculator to work out the exchange rate.
A guaranteed rate
We’ll guarantee your exchange rate for 30 seconds, which means you’ll get the exchange rate you’ve been quoted, even if it changes. It’s only fair.
