List every party in the payment chain
The sending bank or wallet, card network, payment processor, platform and receiving service may each influence cost. Separate fixed fees from percentages and note whether a fee is added, deducted or embedded in the exchange rate. The clearest comparison starts with the amount sent and ends with the amount actually received.

Minimums can create an effective fee
A minimum withdrawal can strand a small balance, while a fixed network charge consumes a larger proportion of a small transfer. Dormancy, account closure and failed-payment clauses may add other costs. These conditions should be visible before funds are accepted, not introduced only when a customer asks to withdraw.
