Transfer cost guide
Understand the real cost before sending money abroad
A transfer fee is only one part of the cost. Woovelt helps you look at the fee, exchange rate, payout method and recipient amount together so you can compare providers more clearly.
Simple cost formula
Total cost = fees + exchange-rate markup
The best provider is usually the one that gives the strongest recipient amount for the same corridor, amount and payout method.
Start with the recipient amount
The cheapest transfer is not always the one with the lowest advertised fee. Compare how much the recipient actually receives after fees and currency conversion.
Check the exchange-rate markup
A provider can show a low or zero fee but still cost more through a weaker exchange rate. The rate difference is often where hidden cost appears.
Compare payout methods
Bank transfer, mobile money, cash pickup and card payouts can carry different fees, speed and availability depending on the corridor.
