- From 1 May 2025 SBI's commission is Nil for individuals; SWIFT waived for P-Segment. Per-currency Branch Commission and Correspondent Charge are out-of-pocket fees per SBI's FX-Out FAQ.↗
- Three SWIFT charge-bearer modes at YONO: Payee (recipient absorbs Branch Commission in FCY), Remitter (sender pays in INR, recipient gets full), Guaranteed (USD/EUR/GBP only, full delivery).↗
- For the 13 currencies outside YONO's 8-currency retail set (CHF/HKD/JPY/THB/SAR/OMR/BHD/KWD/QAR/DKK/NOK/SEK/ZAR), pricing is branch-only and not modelled here.

Other things to know
- Card rates apply to transactions in the ₹10–20 lakh band; smaller amounts may be quoted differently at the branch.↗
Other ways to save
- Pick 'Payee' at checkout to save the Branch Commission in INR — but the recipient receives less in FCY by the same amount. Best for large transfers where the deduction is a smaller % of the total.
- Outward for Medical purpose or Education Loan disbursement is free of charge at SBI — declare the purpose if it qualifies.↗
- Send from an FCNR(B) or NRE account to skip out-of-pocket charges entirely — only the correspondent fee applies.
