Sending money to United States can be an expensive business, more so if you aren’t even aware of all the hidden fees. Money transfer companies and banks profit by charging you fees and a normally hidden margin on the exchange rate.

Using your Bank to make international wire transfers to India can be especially expensive – often 5% to 10% worse than using a foreign exchange specialist to send to United States bank accounts or pay a US dollar invoice.

 

Scotiabank at a glance

Scotiabank is a Canadian multinational bank and a leading financial institution in North and South America. The bank offers a wide range of financial products and services to individuals, businesses, and institutions, including banking, investment, and insurance services.

One of the financial products offered by Scotiabank is wire transfers. Wire transfers are a secure and fast way to transfer funds between banks in different countries. With Scotiabank wire transfers, you can send money to over 100 countries in a variety of currencies.

When you get a quote for your Wire Transfer from Scotiabank on their website or in-app, you can also see the Scotiabank exchange rate, but it can be difficult to then calculate how much markup from the market rate you are being charged.

Our research shows that on average, Scotiabank profit margin for foreign exchange rates is somewhere between 3 - 8%, depending on the amount you're sending, where you're sending it to and which currency will be received.

While all banks in Canada charge this markup, the extra amount being charged is much higher than it would be with a global money transfer specialist.

Setting up a business in the US as a foreigner

Setting up a business in the US as a foreigner is generally the same process as setting up a business as a US citizen. However, there may be additional legal requirements and regulations that apply to foreign nationals. It is advisable to consult with a lawyer who specializes in immigration and business law to ensure compliance with all relevant laws and regulations. Additionally, obtaining a valid work visa may be necessary in order to work in the US as a foreigner. It's important to research the specific requirements for the type of business you plan to start and the state where you plan to set it up.
