Why is there an additional charge for USD payments to international contractors?

Last updated: March 14, 2026

When sending USD payments to recipients outside the U.S., banks may route these transfers through the SWIFT network, which ensures secure international transactions.

  • SWIFT Fee: A $20 fee per transaction is applied by the banks.

  • Niural does not collect this fee: It is a standard banking charge.

  • What to expect: This fee may slightly reduce the amount your contractor receives.

  • Optional adjustment: You can increase the payment amount to cover this fee, ensuring your contractor receives the full intended amount.
