What the rails themselves cost
The scheme or the bank sets these, not Shakepay. The 2 rails Shakepay offers in the most countries we rank it in.
- Interac e-Transfer
- The fee is set by your financial institution rather than by Interac, and many Canadian bank packages include a number of transfers, or unlimited transfers, at no extra charge.
- Wire transfer
- The sending bank charges a flat fee, the receiving bank often charges a second one, and intermediary banks can take more out of a cross border payment, which is why US providers must disclose the total cost and exchange rate before you send.
