I have only tried this with euro's and pounds, without a visible fee. Maybe the exchange rate is slightly in their advantage, but I have no reference material. Since you are in the US I think you can do a USD -> PED transfer at a rate of 1:10. Do they have outlets for the vouchers in the US? If you have to buy using a bank transfer, there maybe some money involved there (for the banks).
Now how does Ukash earn their money then... I am not too sure, but I guess MA is paying them a fee for offering this opportunity to pump money into EU. |
I get a % charge using UKash.
I wonder into the corner shop, pay £10 to the man, and get a £10 UKash voucher.
I toddle off home, log into
EU, and hit the Deposit thing. Select UKash and get the UKash screen. I enter £10 and key in the code.
It then tells me that X ammount of peds will be transferred to my card and the fee for the transaction is X peds.
So I certainly pay a % for the transaction, but it is less than a CC % and much handyier
