Notes:
Effective 29 May 2024: For FX Conversions in Major Currencies that are required as a result of amendments or cancellations, the above FX margin will apply. For currencies other than the Major Currencies (which cannot be held in the Wallet), the FX margin applied to the original conversion will be used.
* The customer mark-up / margin will be included as the FX Exchange Rate that is used to convert one currency for another currency. If any currency is not listed, it will be treated as an “other currency”.
** The Quotes mark-up / margin will be included in addition to the customer mark-up / margin in FX Rates as the FX Exchange Rate that is used to convert one currency for another currency. This feature is only available for customers on API version 2024-06-30 or later.
*** SHA: Both the client (sender) and beneficiary will pay fees to the sending bank i.e. fees for the outgoing transfer. Beneficiary will receive the amount transferred less the intermediary banks' fees.
**** OUR: The client pays for the wire transfer fees charged by intermediary banks.
^ Scheduled conversions allows you to book future-dated conversions up to 90 days in advance, and lock-in the exchange rate with a partial prepayment. The markup for scheduled conversion will be in addition to the standard FX markup.
Cards
Description | Standard Fee (EUR) |
Cards* | |
Employee Cards | €6.00 per active Employee Cardholder** per calendar month |
Automatic conversion fee until 20 October 2023*** | 0.5% |
Automatic conversion fee as of 20 October 2023 | 1.00% |
* This fee is not applicable to the first five Employee Cardholders and will apply to Cardholders 6-50. Cardholders in excess of 50 will require negotiated pricing.
** An Employee Cardholder is active if they have been verified and has an Employee Card that has not been cancelled or has not expired during the relevant month.
*** Automatic conversions allow you to spend on your Card if you don’t hold sufficient levels of the currency you are trying to spend with, but you hold sufficient funds in your home currency to cover the transaction. This is an optional feature.
Automatic conversions use your home currency to help prevent Card payments from failing. If you have insufficient funds to complete a Card transaction involving 1 of the 10 currencies listed below, we will use the available funds in your Home Currency.
The 10 currencies are: AUD, CAD, CHF, EUR, GBP, HKD, JPY, NZD, SGD, and USD.
We will first check if sufficient funds are available in your transaction currency's balance in your Wallet. If not, we will check whether your home currency's balance can cover the entire transaction amount. If it can, we will deduct the transaction amount from your home currency balance at the prevailing FX rate plus an auto-conversion fee.
Additional notes:
The above fees (as applicable) will be deducted from your Wallet on a monthly basis. In the event that a Cardholder is not active for a full calendar month (e.g. becomes active or cancelled mid-month) the fees deducted will be prorated based on the total number of days in that calendar month for which the Cardholder was active e.g., if a customer has had one active Employee Cardholder for 12 days in July, they would be charged €6 X 12 / 31).
If you have any questions about the fees deducted from your Airwallex Wallet, please contact us and we can help clarify any questions. For more information on billing, please see our FAQs.
