How to read the rate
- $1 USD = how many units of the local currency one dollar buys at the mid-market rate.
- $100 USD ≈ roughly what $100 converts to before fees — a quick gut-check for a typical transfer.
- This is the mid-market (interbank) rate. Your remittance service will give you a slightly lower rate because it adds a margin, sometimes plus a fixed fee.
The number that actually matters: what arrives
When you compare Wise, Remitly, banks, or cash services, don’t just compare the advertised fee. Compare how many pesos, quetzales, or lempiras actually land for a $100 transfer after the margin and the fee. A “$0 fee” promo with a worse exchange rate can deliver less than a small-fee service with a better rate.
| What to compare | Why it matters |
|---|---|
| Exchange rate offered | The margin over mid-market is often the biggest hidden cost |
| Transfer fee | Fixed or percentage; sometimes waived on first transfer |
| Total received | The bottom line — pesos/quetzales in the recipient’s hands |
| Delivery speed | Minutes vs. days, and bank deposit vs. cash pickup |
Important notes by currency
- El Salvador and Ecuador use the US dollar — no conversion, so $100 sent is $100 received minus any fee.
- Venezuela, Argentina, and Cuba: the official rate often diverges sharply from the rate families actually receive. Always confirm the real, on-the-ground rate with your transfer service before sending.
- Rates move daily. For a large transfer, lock in or confirm the live rate with your provider.
