You're trolling, right? Everyone knows that there are generally no "actual numbers" available for this kind of transfers unless you're a BigCo or a private banking customer.

You'll send $1000 from your Nigerian bank to the Peruvian bank, $937.65 will arrive after a week+. Most likely nobody will be able to explain where the money went.

No, I really am asking a person to provide facts to back up their claims. I was not aware this was considered trolling.

There are no useful facts to provide, outside of strictly regulated markets banks pull these fees out of their asses. The receiving bank might charge various mystery fees, so even if your bank is playing nice they won't be able to tell you how much will actually arrive.

It's just almost impossible to know the answer to the fee question beyond "probably a lot"
