Why Exchange Rates Matter for Expats

When moving abroad, even a 1–2% difference in the exchange rate on a $50,000 transfer can mean $500–$1,000 lost. Always compare the mid-market rate (what this tool shows) against what your bank offers — the difference is called the "spread" and is how banks and services make money.

• Wise (formerly TransferWise) typically offers rates very close to mid-market
• Bank wire transfers often add 2–4% above mid-market
• Western Union varies — check the total cost including fees
