Sending US dollars to Banco Internacional
A US dollar payment to a bank outside the United States usually travels through a correspondent bank in the US, which holds dollars for the receiving bank. Each bank along the route can deduct a fee when the payer chooses shared charges (SHA). Choosing OUR asks the payer's bank to cover those charges so the full amount arrives. Our guide to intermediary bank fees explains how to see and avoid the deductions.
