Bank transfers vary from $0 to $490.00000000000006
Debit cards range from $0 to $0
Credit card fees vary a lot, mainly due to cash advance fees and/or additional fees from your credit card provider.
Getting the best BWP rate when sending money to Pula
The exchange rate is the value of the Pula (BWP) compared to other currencies. Since it consistently moves up and down, sending at the high will give your receiver more BWP compared to the low.
In the past 7 days, the BWP exchange rate reached:
An average rate of 13.31 Pula per US Dollar
A high of 13.3647 BWP per USD
And a low of 13.2316 BWP per US Dollar
The BWP/USD exchange rate has seen some movements. Making a transfer when the rate is close to 13.3647 BWP/USD will result in more BWP received.
Revolut is our top recommendation for sending Pula, offering a markup of 0.2% which is 0% better than the next cheapest option.
