Fees often begin at CA $2.99 for bank transfers and increase from there. For example, if you send CA $1001-1500 to a mobile wallet it is free, if you send the same amount via INTERAC (a Canadian bank transfer) it costs $2.99 and if you pay with a VISA or Mastercard, it costs $14.99. Details are located at https://remitbee.com/fees. Note that priority payments may incur additional sending and receiving charges.
RemitBee charges above the mid-market rate, but their margin is fairly low, so their exchange rate is generally quite competitive.In our random searches, the margin was usually less than 1%.
