Is my transfer quote fair?
Enter what a bank or transfer service quoted you. We work out the all-in cost – the exchange-rate margin plus fees – and compare it with what different types of provider typically charge.
Enter the amount you send and the amount received to see the result.
All-in cost vs. the reference rate: Great up to 1.0% · Typical up to 3.5% · Expensive up to 7.0% · Very expensive above 7.0%. How we set these ranges.
The reference rate is a daily mid-market reference rate from Norges Bank (around 14:15 CET; for AED, SAR, VND, NGN and EGP see the sources on our About page), not a live tradable rate. Even the cheapest providers usually come out about 0.2–0.5% below it, so a small gap is normal.
Compare two or three quotes for the same amount. The lowest all-in cost wins – not the lowest fee. For small amounts, fixed fees push the percentage up.

How banks and transfer services price a transfer
The mid-market rate is the midpoint between the prices at which banks buy and sell a currency. It is the fairest benchmark, but consumers rarely get it.
Providers usually earn money in up to two ways: an upfront fee that you can see, and an exchange-rate margin – they give you a rate below the mid-market rate and keep the difference. The margin is often not shown as a fee at all.
To compare offers, look at one number: how much arrives for the same amount sent, including all fees. Example: on 1,000 AED, a 2.00% exchange-rate margin costs about 20 AED – the same as a visible fee of that size.
Our rate is a daily reference rate (Norges Bank, around 14:15 CET), so a live quote can differ slightly simply because the market has moved.
What do people typically pay in this corridor?
The World Bank tracks the price of sending 735 AED (about $200) from United Arab Emirates to Philippines. In Q3 2025, the average all-in cost across the services it tracks was 3.04% – an average fee of 20.55 AED plus an exchange-rate margin of 0.24%.
For comparison, the cheapest three services in a typical corridor average 3.29%, and the global average is 6.36%. Larger transfers usually cost less in percent, because fixed fees are spread over more money.
