A flat fee is punishing on a small transfer and almost free on a large one, while a percentage does the opposite. The cheapest option is not the same at every amount.

A service appears here only where it is recorded as able to send from United States and has a current fee on file in South Africa. A corridor we cannot evidence still gets a page, so the route can be told apart from a broken link, but it carries no ranking and is kept out of search.
Fee data on UnifyPay is indicative reference information, not a quotation. Rates change without notice, vary by contract, volume, risk profile and card mix, and many local rails publish no rate card at all. Always confirm against your provider's own pricing before making a commercial decision.
