Rate offered: 1 QAR = 4.5621 ZAR. Mid-market: 4.5713.

Every transfer has two costs: the fee you see up front, and the exchange-rate margin — the gap between the rate you get and the mid-market rate. Add them together and you have the true price.

Western Union charges no transfer fee — yet its exchange rate leaves your recipient R73 less than TorFX. A $0 fee is not the same as the cheapest transfer.
