Banks and online platforms profit from the exchange rate they quote you. We show you exactly what you get, and what you would lose elsewhere.
Enter an amount, pick your currencies, and see exactly how much more you keep with Dinheiro versus a typical high-street bank.
Every £100,000 you send, here is how much of it reaches your recipient.
Banks build their profit directly into the exchange rate. You never see it as a separate fee line, which is why most people do not realise how much they are losing.

Indicative rates for illustration. Actual rates vary by currency pair, volume, and market conditions.
Most people assume their bank charges a flat transfer fee. The reality is far more costly. Banks build their profit directly into the exchange rate before they quote you, a cost that is invisible unless you know where to look.
On a £100,000 transfer, the difference between a bank rate and a Dinheiro rate can be thousands of pounds in your pocket, or your beneficiary's.
Speak to a Relationship Manager →Banks build their profit into the exchange rate itself. You never see a line item for it. You simply receive fewer euros, dollars or dirhams than you should.
For businesses or individuals making regular transfers, the difference between a bank rate and a Dinheiro rate compounds significantly. Over a year of monthly transfers, the gap can run into tens of thousands.
At Dinheiro, your relationship manager tells you the rate and exactly what your beneficiary will receive, before you commit. No surprises.
Not all foreign exchange providers are equal. Here is how Dinheiro compares to the most common alternatives on the market.

Rates and margins shown are indicative. Actual rates vary by provider, transaction size, and market conditions. Dinheiro rates are based on typical client experience.
The rate you see on Google or financial news sites reflects the wholesale rate at which banks trade with each other. The rate your bank quotes you is adjusted to include their profit, which is why you always receive fewer euros, dollars or dirhams than the headline rate suggests. At Dinheiro, we offer highly competitive rates that keep more of your money in your pocket.
We earn a small amount on each transaction through our exchange rate. Because we specialise exclusively in foreign exchange and payments, unlike banks which offer dozens of products, we can operate more efficiently and offer far more competitive rates. You get a better deal; we build a business on volume and long-term client relationships.
Your relationship manager tells you exactly what rate we are offering you before you commit. You can also check live exchange rates on sites such as xe.com or Google Finance at the time of your transaction to see how competitive we are. We welcome that comparison, as it is part of how we build trust with clients.
No. Once you verbally or electronically accept a rate from your relationship manager, it is locked in for a specified period (typically two hours for a spot trade). If you need longer certainty, a forward contract fixes the rate for the date of your choice, up to 24 months in advance.
For most clients and most transactions, there are no additional transfer fees. For very small transactions or certain corridors, a nominal fee may apply. Your specialist will always disclose this upfront before you commit to a trade.
