1.5% is decent no?
Not decent at all, especially when you think how many users they have, and how many "1,5%"'s they take...
stop saying its 1.5% as its not. as someone said its 3.9 plus 1.5 = 5.4%. plus fx spreads.
my own experience is that it cost me roughly $60-$70 to send $1000 to Argentina.
and I think you have a bad attitude toward business. who cares if they are making money. they are a business. that's what businesses do. if you don't like the fees, and there is something better, don't use them. that's the point.
