International Money Transfer
Sending money across borders can be expensive and full of surprises. With KOHO, International Money Transfer is always fast and secure with no hidden markups or other-worldly fees.





Save on transfer fees
So what makes up a transfer fee? For many banks and providers, it’s the exchange rate, a markup (a hidden fee) and a service fee.
We’re different from others. We use the live exchange rate for every International Money Transfer–that’s the best rate around for most countries.
And we never add any hidden fees, so more money reaches your destination. What you see is always what you get.
