Fees Sending money to family with a credit card

When sending money to a family member using a credit card who is charged the fees. The Sender, the receiver or both. Is there a way the sending can just pay all fees so the person needing money can get the amount they needed

If you're sending using a credit card then the receiver is going to be charged the fee. If you want to cover that for them you could add that amount to the amount you're sending. Of course, when you do that, it affects the fee calculation so you can't make it 100% accurate, but you can get close.

Hi @Sherilynn77,

 

Thank you for your post. I wanted to clarify some information.

 

When you send a friends and family payment, if there are any fees involved (use of a card and/or cross-border fees), they are paid by the sender of the payment. Payments for goods and services are where the fees are paid by the receiver.

 

I hope this helps!
