Why the recipient received less money than I sent?

In rare cases, your recipient might receive less money than you sent. Here are the steps you can take if this happens:

  1. Understand possible fees: Some countries have additional fees for incoming international transfers. These fees are deducted from the final amount your recipient receives. We inform you about these charges before you initiate a transaction.

The following countries have a flat $10 fee: Turkey, UAE, Saudi Arabia, Australia, and New Zealand.

In Sri Lanka, USD transactions may incur a variable fee charged by the recipient's bank.

  1. Check local regulations: Verify with the recipient's bank and local regulations. Sometimes, additional fees and charges may be imposed by banks or third parties that are not commonly known.

If your recipient's country is not listed above, and you can't find any information about additional fees from the recipient's bank or local regulations, please contact our customer support for assistance.

To ensure our team can assist you quickly, please provide a screenshot or PDF document from the recipient's bank confirming the lower final amount deposited.
