What does a USD-BRL transfer cost?
Unicorn Currencies charges a 0.5% FX spread plus a flat fee of £5 per payment for USD-BRL transfers. This is significantly cheaper than traditional banks which typically charge 2-4% in hidden FX margins plus high SWIFT fees.
What exchange rate do I get for USD-BRL?

Can I lock the USD-BRL rate in advance?
Yes, forward contracts are available for USD-BRL payments. You can lock in today's rate for future payments, protecting your business from currency fluctuations for up to 12 months.
What details do I need for USD-BRL payments?
