Rate offered: 1 GBP = 82.8539 PHP. Mid-market: 83.0199.

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 ₱1,245 less than TorFX. A $0 fee is not the same as the cheapest transfer.
