What a transfer really costs

You pay two things when sending AUD to NGN: the transfer fee you see up front, and the exchange-rate margin — the gap between the rate you get and the mid-market reference rate. A "no fee" offer with a wide margin can cost more than a small fee with a close-to-mid-market rate, which is why we rank by what your recipient actually receives. Open "How this is calculated" on any result to see both parts.
