Measure the cost of the buy-sell spread in a currency transaction.
The spread is the gap between the rate you buy at and the rate you sell at, which is how currency providers profit. Multiplying the spread by the transferred amount gives the hidden cost. A wide spread silently raises the cost of every currency transfer, so comparing providers on spread matters as much as the headline rate.
