Rabobank transfer exchange-rate margins
Rabobank says the currency-conversion margin for a World Payment is included in the exchange rate. Its consumer information currently groups supported currencies into three published margin bands:
| Published margin | Currencies |
|---|---|
| 0.86% | USD, GBP, SEK, CHF, DKK, PLN, CAD, NOK, JPY, AUD, ZAR, SGD, CZK, RON, NZD, HKD, HUF, TRY, ILS |
| 1.10% | AED, MXN, CNY, MAD, SAR, BHD, KWD, TND, XCG |
| 2.25% | THB, INR, IDR, KES |
BER independently measures the difference between Rabobank's published customer rate and a current market mid-rate. That measured difference may not exactly match the bank's stated margin because the reference rates and observation times can differ.
The exchange-rate margin is only one part of the transfer cost. Include any separate Rabobank payment charge and any correspondent or recipient-bank deductions when comparing the final amount delivered.

Can every listed currency be converted in both directions?
