Indicative only. Rates for India, China, Bangladesh and Malaysia are the international mid-market rate — your provider's rate after fees will be lower. Myanmar's is from an independent rate-tracking site rather than a bank, since no bank or e-wallet here publishes a comparable daily figure — treat it as a rough indication only. Always confirm the exact rate in your provider's own app before you send.
