Frequently Asked Questions

Direct answers to the most common queries, optimized for clarity.

Many traditional banks and remittance providers advertise 'zero fee' transfers because they charge $0 upfront. However, this is deeply misleading. They make their profit by manipulating the exchange rate (the 'spread'). For example, if the true market rate is 83 INR for 1 USD, they will only give you 80 INR for 1 USD, pocketing the massive difference.
