Quote By Receive vs. Quote By Send Amount

Quote By Receive Amount (QBRA)

📘

Quote By Receive Amount

Best for reimbursing someone in the same currency as their original payment, ensuring they receive the exact amount they paid.

Things to keep in mind:

  • Fees - The sender (company) is responsible for covering fees associated with the payout
    • Ex: If you send a payout for $1000 MXN, the recipient will receive exactly $1000 MXN and you will be responsible for any delta from the exchange rate (so your total cost will be higher than $1000 MXN)
  • Payout Currency - Recipient can only claim funds in the currency that was specified
    • Ex: If you send a payout in MXN, the recipient will not be able to select to receive the payout in USD
  • Payout Info - Payout info must be sent (via batch or API) with the specific currency and indicating 'RECEIVE_AMOUNT' as the method
