You may need to pay a shipping and handling fee for your order. This will be added to your total order amount and will differ depending on how much cash you order.

What’s Wells Fargo’s exchange rate?

A foreign currency exchange rate works out exactly how much your US dollars are worth in pesos.

The mid-market rate is the standard exchange rate for currency conversion. However, many currency exchange providers set their own rates to make a profit from your transaction.

Wells Fargo sets the exchange rate for your conversion at their sole discretion, including a markup. This may add a significant charge to your order.

The exchange rate also fluctuates with market conditions, so you may not know exactly how much you’ll pay until you come to make your exchange.²
