That's not bad, unless you compare it with Nationwide, which is free and you also need to aware of the exchange rate which you are getting. That is the way banks and other money changers fool people.

Do your sums. Check the interbank rate for the day and work out how much in Pesos that is for amount you want to send. Then see what you get in Pesos after you have paid the fee and got a lower exchange rate. It can be a surprise.

i still think nothing can beat PNB their rates are good, if the recipients PNB acct is ATM it is literally within minutes.
