TorFX fees and general cost

There are no associated costs with the account or fees for making transfers.

The only cost that is incurred is the exchange rate, which is negotiated on a per-transfer basis depending on the business needs.

Exchange rates with currency brokers

When using a currency broker exchange rates can be a little higher than using a provider like Wise Business, who offer the mid-market rate.

This is because you are effectively paying for the service within the rate.

This is worth the small amount of exchange you will pay to secure the rate as it offers more insight of when to send and access to expert advice, which you simply do not get using a self-served, online, platform.
