CFPB explains that covered providers disclose the exchange rate, certain fees and the expected amount delivered. Compare offers at the same time with the same funding method; a zero transfer fee can coexist with a less favorable rate.
CFPB describes a no-cost cancellation window of up to 30 minutes after payment for qualifying transfers, provided the recipient has not collected the funds or received them into an account and the provider can identify the transfer.
Our checklist: retain the quote, receipt, expected delivery date and any figures labeled estimates. Use these records to explain a discrepancy to the provider promptly.
