Goood service but hidden fees

Service is good and they respond very quickly.
However, it's not always the same person who replies so it makes it hard to keep good communication.
On a transaction of US$ 2000, US$ 75 where lost on "other banks fees" which I wasn't warned before hand.

I'm sorry to hear you are dissapointed. We made commission of NZD 5.83 on your deal as an indication of how good your rate was. Its unfortunate fees were deducted at the receivers end- this can happen sometimes but its impossible to know how much the receiving bank will take. USD 75.00 is about as high as it gets.
