Xoom review

Xoom is convenient for PayPal users and routes needing cash pickup or extra services such as bill payment. Its price includes both a transaction fee and a customer exchange rate, so convenience should be compared with the final amount delivered.

Cost

Xoom fees and exchange rates

Varies by transaction, payment method, amount, destination and receiving currency; the exchange rate includes a conversion spread.

Compare the final amount received for the same send amount and payout method. A low or zero separate fee does not automatically mean the strongest overall value, and a visible fee does not automatically make a transfer expensive.

Confirm the provider's own checkout because rates can change after BestSendRate records a quote.
