Heads up – this post is divided into 2 general sections:

Why we’re changing our fees (and why they’re going down on most transfers and up on others)
The new fees

If you’re not very interested in the “why”, and you just want to know how the new pricing will affect your transfers, go straight to the new fees.

Why we're changing our fees

We believe sending money to another country should be as cheap as sending an email. Yes, we think it should be free.

We’re not there yet, but that’s what we’re shooting for.

Why most fees are going down

When we opened for business in Australia, we based our fees on how much we thought transfers would cost us to process.

Since then, we’ve gotten better at what we do, and our costs have gone down on many transfer amounts and routes. We’ve lowered our fees in those places, which means most of you will be able send money for even less. Woohoo!

Why some fees are going up

Unfortunately, despite our best efforts, some transfers still cost us a little more than we originally estimated.

We’ve raised our fees on those transfers to cover our costs. We know that isn't great news for the people whose fees are going up, and we're sorry about that.

We'll bring those fees back down as soon as we can. (And remember, you can always save a little money by funding your transfer with a bank transfer, rather than a card.)

What about borderless accounts?

Depending on what you do in your borderless account, the fee is different:
1) Topping up is free, but if you use a card the card fee will apply.
2) Moving balance from one currency to another within borderless has the variable fee that you would get for a normal money transfer for that route. The fixed fee is not included.
3) Pay-out has only a fixed component that is determined by the target currency
