#### Display the FX rate, transfer fees, and speed upfront {#display-the-fx-rate-transfer-fees-and-speed-upfront}

The cost of making a transfer greatly influences consumer decisions. Therefore, it is crucial to clearly display the exchange rate, fees, and speed at the beginning of the transfer process. This involves emphasizing the fee and speed associated with sending money to any of the endpoint options, and informing consumers about the FX rate and its validity. Additionally, keeping consumers updated on any changes in these parameters ensures they know exactly how much they will be charged.
