    Are the amount that is writen underneath "the reciver will get", after ive choosen the payment method the exact amount they will recive? i mean all the exchange rates included. It is very important that my reciver gets the exact amount of money i sent to them no more or less. all the extra fees are all on me right? and the amount i want them to recive, and they will recive are the amount written underneath " the reciver will get"?
    thank you for the helpful video btw!

      Hey Tilda, yeah it is the exact amount they'll receive. That's including Western Union's hidden exchange rate fees and any fixed fees they'll include. Hope you checked www.Monito.com before you sent ;) ^Jonny

    This video was helpful, but it would have been more helpful if you allowed us to see the fields required for the receiver's banking info. You could have entered fake info just for the purposes of teaching.

We'll be able to recommend the best provider, including the best exchange rate for your transfer. It's also free to use :) Thank you. ^Jonny
