Should I send my wire in foreign currency or U. S. dollars?
- When deciding between sending in foreign currency or U.S. dollars, you should consider factors that impact the total cost to send or the amount available after transfer, such as exchange rates and other fees.
- When sending in foreign currency there is no Bank of America outbound wire transfer fee and an exchange rate is locked in upfront.
- When you use Online Banking to send an international wire in foreign currency, you may be able to get a better exchange rate than in the financial center.
- If you do not know the currency of the receiving account, you should consult the recipient or send in U.S. dollars.
