Agent bank fees are charges levied by banks that facilitate international wire transfers between the sender's and recipient's banks that do not have direct relationship. These agent banks, also known as correspondent banks, act as intermediaries in the transfer process. The fees can also be influenced by the currency exchanged and the specific route the transfer takes.

How much will I be charged by an agent bank?
We estimate agent banks fees will range anywhere between USD20 and USD50 or more; actual fees may vary depending on different banks, with some banks potentially charging higher amounts.

Here are some tips to reduce the agent bank fees charged:

Account selection: Debit from your TWD/USD GlobeSend account

Currency choice: ^Transfer in the local currency that GlobeSend supports e.g. Send AUD to Australia, or VND to Vietnam

Transfer limit: Transaction value within the recipient's local receiving limits

^Transfers to Japan incur intermediary bank fees, regardless of the debiting account currency.
