Title: Comparison of Transfer Fees (Bitcoin, Paypal, Dwolla, etc.) Post by: phelix on October 17, 2011, 07:37:56 AM Is there a list of the fees for international money transfers with the various systems? Just recently I received 200€ from Canada to Germany and had to pay a horrendous fee of 8.15€ (of course I would have preferred Bitcoin).
I think such a list would show the bitcoin advantage quite clearly. Transfer time would also be of interest.

Of course, by the time your international friend receives bitcoin and changes it to cash they may only get 75% or even less of what you intended to send them, but the transaction fees, boy are they low.
