Bank costs are calculated using an average 2% rate markup (based on data from 10,000 Skydo customers) plus up to $30 in fees, a conservative estimate of typical inward remittance pricing. Skydo charges a flat $19 fee with zero rate markup. Your actual bank cost may be higher.
Converting 821 AED to rupees is only half the picture. If you are a freelancer, agency, or exporter getting paid 821 AED by a client abroad, three things decide how much you keep and how cleanly it lands.
If you transact often, you should know the exact rate you're getting. This is where most of the cost hides. Businesses can lose lakhs here. Skydo gives you live mid-market rates.
You need a Foreign Inward Remittance Advice for the 821 AED you receive, for GST and export compliance. Skydo issues a per-transaction FIRA automatically on each payment.
Skydo settles the 821 AED to your Indian bank account, typically within a day, with the FIRA and a GST-compliant record attached.
