Q1 2022 Mission Update: Price

Martina Presnajderova

In Q1 we rolled out several changes on fees:

  • We decreased fees when you send money to United Arab Emirates, South Africa, Kenya and Ukraine.

  • Additionally, processing cost changed for us on some convenient pay-in methods - therefore we needed to change fees on several currencies when you fund your payment via Credit / Debit card - we increased fees on for example USD or EUR. On good note - on some other currencies we were able to take fees down (such as sending from Australian dollar).

  • Lastly, unfortunately due to volatility in markets in Turkey led us to increase fees when you send to Turkish Lira.

In Q1, 189k customers got cheaper fees, while 634k experienced a fee increase. Overall this led to our average fee to increase from 0.60% to 0.61%.

Here are some of our changes in numbers, the changes in fees on equivalent of sending £1.000:
