Base fees and packages
A guaranteed fee excludes conditional bonuses. A reported package may include achievable or maximum add-ons. This older table does not establish that distinction for each entry, so its values remain historical estimates with unverified basis.
How to compare transfers
Check the original currency, source date, guaranteed fee and add-on conditions before comparing deals. Undisclosed amounts are unknown, not zero. Loans, free transfers and permanent sales are separate transaction types. For recent reporting, use the current transfer hub.
