Understanding Exchange Rates with Western Union

When sending money internationally, it's essential to understand the exchange rate and any additional fees associated with your transaction. At Western Union, we make it easy for you to check current rates and options by simply clicking 'Send Money' on our website.

Our exchange rates and fees are estimates and can vary depending on several factors, including payment and payout methods. For example, if you're transferring 100,000 USD to GBP while using a credit card, you may incur additional charges such as a card-issuer cash advance fee and associated interest charges.

To avoid these fees or reduce them, consider using a debit card or exploring other payment methods. Additionally, keep in mind that funds may be delayed or services unavailable based on certain transaction conditions, including the amount sent, destination country, currency availability, regulatory issues, identification requirements, agent location hours, differences in time zones, or selection of delayed options.

It's also important to note that fees and rates are subject to change without notice. When choosing a money transmitter, carefully compare both transfer fees and exchange rates to ensure you're getting the best deal.

Western Union offers competitive exchange rates for your international money transfers. For instance, you can convert EUR to MUR with us to send money to your loved ones in South Africa. Simply visit our website to get an estimate of the exchange rate for your specific transfer.

Remember to always check the terms and conditions of service, as well as any additional third-party charges that may apply, including SMS and account over-limit and cash-out fees. With Western Union, you can trust that we're committed to providing you with reliable and convenient international money transfers.
