When dealing with international money transfers, it’s important to be aware of hidden fees and unfavorable exchange rates often applied by traditional banks. These costs can significantly reduce the amount you receive when converting ZAR to EUR or vice versa.
For a more cost-effective solution for international transfers, consider using services like Wise (formerly TransferWise). These platforms often offer more transparent exchange rates and lower fees compared to traditional banking systems. For instance, transferring EUR 1000 to USD with Wise can be significantly cheaper than using a conventional bank, potentially saving you a substantial amount.
Understanding Cross Currency Rates
Currency exchange rates are not always directly quoted between every pair of currencies. Instead, cross currency rates are often used. These rates are calculated indirectly, usually through the US Dollar as an intermediary. For example, to find the ZAR to EUR cross rate, the system might calculate the ZAR to USD rate and the EUR to USD rate and then derive the ZAR to EUR rate from these two. This system ensures a consistent and globally understood method for currency conversion.
