License and attribution

Fee figures are facts from each bank's published schedule; the World Bank survey and ECB rates keep their own terms. The compilation is CC BY 4.0: credit "Data: Wire Cash (wire.cash)" with a link. Wire Cash is an independent website, not a bank or money transmitter, and nothing returned is a quote or financial advice.

Questions people ask

Is there a cost or an API key?

No. The server is free, read-only and needs no key or sign-in. Please cite the wire.cash page or the source document that comes back with each answer.

Where does the data come from?

Bank fees and cutoffs come from each bank's own fee schedule or deposit agreement, with the schedule date and link on every answer. Provider costs come from the World Bank's Remittance Prices Worldwide survey (Q3 2025), and reference exchange rates from the European Central Bank. The server reads the same files as the pages on this site.

Is an answer a quote?

No. Banks change fees without notice and the bank's current schedule governs. Bank wire fees leave out the exchange-rate spread and any intermediary-bank charge, and survey prices are a snapshot, so get a live quote before you send.
