Q1: Why does Google show a higher dollar amount than my transfer app?

Q2: How much can I save by choosing an app over a traditional wire transfer?
A2: On a 20,000 MXN transfer, digital apps save between $40 and $70 USD compared to traditional retail bank wires, primarily by avoiding intermediary correspondent banking charges and wide exchange spreads.
