• Service fee. The amount of money a money transfer service charges to send will vary depending on the amount of money being sent, how it is being delivered, and how the transaction is being funded.
• Collection fee. Charged to arrange cash to be collected.
• Delivery fee. Charged to arrange cash to be delivered to the recipient’s address.
• Cash advance fee. Set by the credit card issuer when funding a money transfer with a credit card. Interest on the transaction applies separately.
• Exchange rate. When you send large amounts of money abroad, the exchange rate can significantly impact how much your recipient will get. Its impact is less noticeable on smaller remittances.

There are other ways to send money to Kuwait if you don’t want to use an online money transfer service.

• Bank transfer. Convenient but more expensive and generally slower than an international money transfer service.
• Crypto. If you and the recipient are already set up with wallets, crypto, can be a very cheap and fast option. Sending a stablecoin gives the recipient a certain amount of protection from fluctuations in price, which is not the case if sending Bitcoin or another token.
• Money orders. One of the oldest ways to send money. They’re also comparatively slow. Once the recipient receives the money order, they can cash it in.
• Money transfer agents. Located in most large towns and cities. Helpful for recipients that need cash quickly. Check that there is a location near the recipient where they can collect the funds.
• Prepaid cards. Transaction limits, such as how much can be loaded and how much can be withdrawn per day, make prepaid cards impractical for large amounts.
