Impact of Federal Bank Exchange Rate & Fees on International Transfers

The hidden markup on every international transfer
  1. Every currency pair has a mid-market rate. It’s the average between the buy and sell rate, what you should get with the bank. You can easily find out this rate by searching for the live rate on Google.
  2. Federal Bank doesn’t give you this rate. They typically add a 1%-2.5% markup. There’s no fixed formula and the rate depends on amount, account type, your relationship with the bank. Two people getting the same amount can get different rates.
  3. Want to verify? Check you FIRA. It shows the foreign currency amount received and the rate charged by the bank. Not indicative rates, the real rates applied.
→ Check sample FIRA on the right. “Exchange Rate” and “INR equivalent” fields matter
