The transfer fee is calculated as a percentage of the total transaction amount. For example:

If you are transferring $100 and the applicable fee is 4%, the fee would be calculated as follows:

Transfer Fee: ($100) x (4%) / 100 = $4

Total Amount Debited: $100 + $4 = $104

YELL charges a transfer fee that ranges from 1% to 5%. The exact percentage depends on factors such as the transaction amount, payment method, transfer destination, and urgency.

Understanding Transfer Fees on YELL:

When you use YELL for transferring funds, it’s essential to be aware of the transfer fee that is applied to each transaction. This fee is a percentage of the total amount being transferred and can vary based on several factors.

To minimize the risk of accidental transactions, YELL features multiple confirmation steps. Each time you attempt to send money, a pop-up notification will appear, allowing you to review and confirm the transaction details once more. This process ensures you have the opportunity to cancel or proceed with full awareness, helping you avoid unintended payments. Always double-check the recipient’s information before confirming to ensure your funds are sent to the correct person.

The transfer fee on YELL is typically applied in scenarios such as:

International Transfers: Higher fees may apply for transactions across borders.

Currency Conversion: Additional fees may be charged for converting funds between currencies.

Payment Method: Fees may vary depending on whether you use a bank transfer, credit card, or other payment methods.

Urgency: Expedited transfers may incur higher fees compared to standard processing times.

Example Transaction on YELL:

Let’s say you want to transfer $500 to a friend overseas, and the applicable fee is 5%:

Amount to Transfer: $500

Transfer Fee (5%): $25

Total Amount Debited from Your Account: $525

The transfer fee helps cover the costs associated with processing the transaction, including administrative expenses, currency conversion, and any charges from intermediary banks. It ensures that YELL can maintain and improve its services while covering operational costs.
