What's the fee?

The fee for a money transfer is 1.5% of the transfer amount. The minimum fee is $5.

The exchange rate is calculated in real time from independent sources at the moment the transfer begins. The rate is locked in immediately and doesn’t change until the transfer is complete, so the recipient gets exactly the amount you sent.

Before confirming the money transfer, you’ll see the full breakdown: the amount the recipient will get, the exchange rate, the fee, and the total amount in shekels that will be charged to your card. Your card will be charged exactly that amount. There are no hidden fees. For the recipient, the money transfer is always free.

How long does a money transfer take?

The delivery time for a money transfer depends on the payout method.

  • A cash transfer is ready for pickup as soon as payment is confirmed.
  • A card transfer, as well as a bank account transfer in European countries (SEPA), reaches the recipient within minutes of payment.
  • A bank account transfer to the US takes one business day beyond the day the transfer was sent.

How do I pick up a cash transfer?

To pick up a cash transfer, visit a payout location and provide the transfer’s control number.

As soon as payment is confirmed, the control number appears on screen and is sent to you on WhatsApp, along with a link where you can find the address and opening hours of the nearest payout location.

The recipient also receives an SMS with the control number. This SMS usually includes a link for finding payout locations as well.

For a card or bank account transfer, no control number is needed. The money transfer is credited automatically.

What currency can I send and receive money in?

The currency you can send and receive a money transfer in depends on the destination country and payout method. For some destinations, only the local currency is available. For others, you can choose dollars, euros, or the local currency.

To see the exact currency options for your destination, start a money transfer and choose the destination country. You’ll immediately see which currencies you can send the transfer in.

For some destinations, the transfer amount may be converted a second time on the recipient’s end. If a cash transfer was sent in a currency that isn’t available at the payout location, the recipient will be offered payout in the local currency at that location’s exchange rate. If a card transfer was sent in a currency different from the card’s currency, the card issuer will convert the amount at their own exchange rate.

The exchange rate you see when sending a money transfer is locked in immediately and doesn’t change. It applies to the amount we send. Any additional currency conversion on the recipient’s end, if required, happens at the exchange rate of the receiving bank or the card issuer, not MoneySend.
