Understanding the Numbers
TT Sell is the rate Axis uses
This is the rate Axis uses when sending money abroad. Higher rate means fewer dollars for you.
Mid-market is the Google/XE rate
This is the market exchange rate you usually see on Google or XE.
Spread is the hidden extra cost
Banks usually do not use the exact Google rate. They add a small markup on top.
Total charges show true cost
Fixed fee + FX markup + GST together decide your final value.
How to Get Better Rates
Compare recipient amount, not just rate
The best option is the one that sends more USD after all charges.
Transfer when market is active
During active FX hours, spreads may tighten and improve your payout.
Ask for better pricing on larger amounts
For bigger transfers, ask for negotiated rate or fee waiver.
Confirm final credit before payment
Check exact USD credit and charges before you initiate transfer.
