Why are foreign currency cash rates quoted here different than those I see elsewhere?
Often the foreign currency cash rate quoted by Wells Fargo can be a buy or sell rate, which can differ. The foreign currency cash rate includes costs, such as shipping and handling, transaction processing, and also includes the revenue Wells Fargo earns. Wells Fargo may offer different rates to different counterparties for the same or similar transactions. No representation is made that Wells Fargo’s pricing is reflective of rate sources or publications, or rates being offered by other providers. Wells Fargo provides rates at its sole discretion.
What is the difference between a buy rate and a sell rate?
Often the foreign currency cash rate quoted by Wells Fargo can be a sell rate or a buy rate, which can differ. The sell rate is the exchange rate you must pay to order foreign currency cash from Wells Fargo. The buy rate is the exchange rate Wells Fargo will pay to buy a currency from you, if you have foreign currency cash left from your travels. The difference between the sell and buy rate is called the spread. This spread includes a markup. The markup is designed to compensate Wells Fargo for several considerations including, without limitation, costs incurred, market risks, and our desired return.
