Get a quote

Get a quote for a Swan International Credit Transfer.

Call the internationalCreditTransferQuote query to get a quote for your transfer, which includes:

  • Current exchangeRate.
  • Amount you're sending in your currency (sourceAmount).
  • Fees (feeAmount).
  • Amount your recipient should receive in their currency (targetAmount).
For information only

The exchange rate in the quote is for your information only, so running this query is optional. Only after initiating an International Credit Transfer is the exchange rate locked for one business day.

    • feesAmount, currency, and value
    • sourceAmount, currency, and value
