Price Check: How Worldesk fits
You used Price Check to compare what your bank charged you against the midmarket FX rate at your transaction time. If the result showed a markup above 0.5%, here's what we do differently.
Worldesk's typical rate
On the major currency pairs (EUR/USD, GBP/USD, USD/JPY, USD/CHF, USD/CAD), Worldesk's typical all-in rate is around 0.5% above midmarket. That is the cost of moving money, period. No hidden wire fees on top, no "preferential rate today only" markup that quietly widens later.
Your actual quote depends on the pair, amount, settlement timing, and tier. For non-major pairs the rate may be slightly wider, so contact us for a quote on your specific exposure.
Who Worldesk is for
- Businesses paying suppliers, contractors, or staff in foreign currency on a recurring basis.
- Nonprofits sending grants or paying program costs across borders.
- Anyone whose annual cross-border payment volume is high enough that bank markup is a meaningful line item.

Worldesk rates vary by pair, volume, settlement, and tier. Past performance is no guarantee of future quotes. The Price Check comparison uses historical midmarket data from a third-party provider; small differences from your bank's reference midmarket are normal and don't reflect any markup we charge.
