  • In Brazil multiple exchange rates USD / BRL exist: commercial, informal, and tourism. In order to more accurately reflect the real cost borne by the sender, the informal exchange rate has been used as a reference to calculate the exchange rate margins in this corridor, instead of the interbank exchange rate used for other corridors.
