Why are rates different between providers?
Each provider has different fees, exchange rate mark-ups, and transfer speeds. Some offer better rates for certain corridors or amounts. That's why comparing is so important! Factors include provider overhead, transfer method, and destination country.

Compare multiple providers, consider transfer amount (larger amounts often get better rates), check for promotions, and be flexible with transfer speed if possible. Also, avoid weekends when markets are closed for the best exchange rates.
