Fees are compared on the equivalent of $100 so markets with different currencies rank against each other rather than by nominal number. A provider running several products is represented by whichever is cheapest in that market, which is the fairest read of “what would this cost me”. Rates marked 0% are genuinely free at the point of use, not missing data. The channel beside each market is the one both providers are quoted on.

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.
