So whenever my mom sends me money from the UK it says how much it is in GBP and USD as well as the amount that is sent and a confirmation of how much will be received by the recipient. When I receive it, the amount has fees deducted from it but those fees are not displayed to my mom. When I was in the UK sitting at her computer she showed me and sure enough, it stated that the recipient (me) would receive $116.32 but when I got it, a $5.22 fee was deducted. Is there any way to find out what the fee is going to be for a certain sized transaction and is there any way to avoid paying that fee? How can a fee be charged that is not communicated to the sender?
