Rate offered: 1 TRY = 2.6281 KES. Mid-market: 2.6334.
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.
OFX charges no transfer fee — yet its exchange rate leaves your recipient KSh4 less than TorFX. A $0 fee is not the same as the cheapest transfer.
