How do I tell whether an online brokerage's withdrawal charge includes foreign exchange costs?

Our answer

Check outbound transfer, intermediary-bank and FX conversion line items, then compare net amount received rather than just headline fee.

Why this approach makes sense

Travel, transport and payment providers use different rules. The correct answer comes from the actual booking, provider and transaction.

Before you try it

Check the operator’s current conditions and keep any relevant receipt or confirmation.
