What is FX spread cost?
FX spread cost is the difference between the theoretical amount at the mid-market reference rate and the amount available at the bank or platform quoted rate.
Banks and apps love to say 'no fees,' yet you still come out behind — the catch usually hides in the exchange-rate spread. Enter the amount, the mid-market rate, the provider's actual quote and any stated fees, and this adds the hidden spread to the visible fees to show what really lands and your true all-in cost. Great for comparing providers.

A fixed fee is a flat charge, while a percentage fee scales with the exchange amount or the converted amount.
International transfers may include intermediary fees, settlement timing, platform markup, bank processing delays, and live exchange-rate movement.
