Example: $1,000 from a client in the US

Your client in the US pays $1,000 by ACH. HandlePay takes $0.50 plus 0.2% ($2.00), so $997.50 lands in your account. Cash all of it out and the 0.5% fee leaves about $992.50 converted to rupees at the Google rate. The same $1,000 sent by SWIFT lands as $978.04, so ask US clients to pay by ACH.
