Don’t overpay, HOP Remit compares all the best forex rates for you

Sending money abroad? You want every rupee to count, whether for education, living expenses, or family support. But hidden fees and exchange rate markups quietly reduce what your recipient receives.  

Many services lure you with “zero fees” yet sneak in costs through unfavorable rates and unclear terms. The result? Less money reaching your loved ones.  

HOP Remit by moneyHOP simplifies international transfers, exposing hidden charges and helping you make smarter choices. No surprises, no confusion, just maximum value for your money. Stay informed and stay in control.

How much will your recipient actually receive? The key factors that make a difference

1. The illusion of low fees: are you really saving?

When you see “low fees” or “zero fees”, it’s natural to think you’ve scored a great deal. However, many providers offset these low fees by adding hidden charges during the transfer process. This means the amount you send isn’t always the amount your recipient will receive.

2. The exchange rate trap: what you see isn’t always what you get

The exchange rate markups can often be a hidden cost. Forex providers add margins on the real market rate and show you an exchange rate that’s less favorable, quietly taking a cut of your money.

Breaking down the numbers: what does this mean for you?

This example demonstrates that you can’t just focus on the advertised fee alone. The effective exchange rate plays a crucial role in determining how much your recipient will actually receive.

• Don’t be misled: Some services lure you in with low fees, but their unfavorable exchange rates cancel out any potential savings.

• Compare the total cost: Focus on the final amount your recipient will receive, not just the headline fee.

• The impact of HOP Remit’s approach: By focusing on transparency and a balanced approach to fees and exchange rates, HOP Remit aims to maximize the value your recipient receives.

Why do we deduct fees first? And why does it benefit you?

Many platforms apply fees after conversion, meaning you pay more than expected. HOP Remit follows a transparent approach:

• We first deduct all fees, so you know exactly how much is being converted.

• The exchange rate is applied only to the final amount, ensuring maximum foreign currency value.

This prevents hidden surprises and guarantees that the recipient gets the maximum possible amount.

What about TCS?

TCS can quietly add to your transaction costs and most platforms don’t tell you upfront. At HOP Remit, we believe in complete transparency. Check out our detailed blog to understand the latest TCS rates and how they affect you.
