CurrencyFair solves the pain experienced by anyone that needs to send money abroad. Expats, overseas home-owners, and SMEs typically pay large spreads (up to and even exceeding 5%) and high international transfer fees of around €25 on every payment. CurrencyFair helps its customer access the real exchange rate, while charging a small transparent margin on each transaction. While this charge varies depending on which currencies are being exchanged, the average margin is around 0.45% of the overall trade. In addition there is a small fee of €3 when transferring money out of your account.
