Recipient gets is (your send amount − fee) × FX, so ranking is total payout at the amount you typed — not the last stored quote’s send size. Fees that look percentage-like are scaled from the provider’s poll amount; small transfer charges stay fixed. First-transfer promos are included when shown. Wise fees are estimated as €3.98 + 2.018% of send amount (bank deposit, €100–€20,000).
Rates and fees are collected automatically and may not always be exact. Check each provider’s own site to verify before you send.
