Quick answer

To compare provider quotes fairly, use the same amount, same currency pair, same payout method and same time window. Rank providers by final received amount, not only by the advertised rate.

Start with the same scenario

A fair comparison starts with the same amount, currency pair, recipient country, payout method and timing. If one quote is for bank payout and another is for cash pickup, the cost and speed may not be directly comparable.

Rank by final received amount

The final received amount combines the offered exchange rate, fixed fee, percentage fee and any payout deduction. It is usually the clearest number when comparing international transfer or exchange options.

Check the hidden spread

A provider can show a low visible fee while using a weaker exchange rate. Compare the provider rate against a transparent reference rate to estimate the exchange-rate margin.

Use CURREXX scorecard

The Provider Quote Scorecard lets you enter up to three manual quotes and compare estimated received amounts against the CURREXX daily reference rate.

Quick checklist

  • Use the same amount and currency pair for every quote.
  • Compare the final received amount after fees.
  • Check provider rate against the reference rate.
  • Review delivery time, payout method and cancellation terms.
  • Save the quote details before confirming payment.

FAQs

Can CURREXX choose a provider for me?

No. CURREXX does not recommend a provider. It helps you compare quote details before you decide.

Why should I compare final received amount?

The final received amount includes the combined effect of the rate, fixed fee, percentage fee and payout deductions.

Can provider quotes change quickly?

Yes. Provider quotes can expire or change when markets move, so compare quotes close together in time.
