What are Winvesta fees at a glance?

Winvesta fees for Indian users, as published on Winvesta's own pricing pages and checked on 30 Sept 2026.

How does Winvesta charge Indian users?

Winvesta charges through a receiving fee, an FX markup on conversion and, in some cases, payout or fixed fees.

  • Transaction fee: Per currency, by monthly volume: up to 2,000 a month 0.99% + fixed fee (USD 3, EUR 5, GBP 5, AUD 10, SGD 10); 2,000 to 100,000 a month custom; above 100,000 a month flat 0.2%; 18% GST on fees for non-JPMC accounts per the charges FAQ, applied only to non-USD fees in the product-page calculator
  • FX markup: Product page states '0% forex markup' and 'ZERO FX on USD'; the applied FX rate and booking time are shown after withdrawal; non-USD markup Not confirmed
  • Withdrawal fee: Funds are withdrawn to the user's Indian bank account in INR. USD reaches the bank 1 business day after processing and EUR or GBP 2 business days after, with a 1:00 PM IST cut-off. A separate fee for standard withdrawals is Not confirmed; priority processing for USD typically costs an additional $15-25.
  • GST: Not stated in one place. The charges FAQ states 18% GST will be levied on Winvesta fees for every non-JPMC account and does not explain which accounts are JPMC accounts. The fee calculator on the multi-currency account page (script) applies GST at 18% of the payment fee only for non-USD currencies and shows no GST for USD. A Winvesta blog post dated 12 January 2026 says 'No extra GST charges apply to your transactions'. For card collections, GST applies only to the MDR fee.

Calculation basis: Not modelled. The charges FAQ prices by monthly collection volume in each currency, not by invoice size: 0.99% plus a fixed fee per transaction (USD 3 for USD) up to 2,000 a month, custom pricing from 2,000 to 100,000 a month, and a flat 0.2% above 100,000 a month, so a single invoice cannot be priced without knowing monthly volume, and the middle tier is unpublished. This was still the case on 7 October 2026 and is the main reason no model is set. GST is clearer than before but is still not stated in one place: the charges FAQ says 18% GST is levied on Winvesta fees for every non-JPMC account without saying which accounts are JPMC accounts; the fee calculator on the product page (script) adds 'GST (18% of payment fee converted to INR)' only when the currency is not USD and adds no GST for USD; and Winvesta's blog pages, including a 12 January 2026 post, carry the line 'No FX markups. No GST.' Read together these point to no GST on USD fees, but no Winvesta page states that USD accounts are the JPMC accounts. FX is stated only as headlines ('0% forex markup', 'ZERO FX on USD'); the calculator converts the net amount at the rate it fetches for the currency pair with no markup applied, and the applied rate is shown after the withdrawal. A markup for non-USD currencies is not published.

How can you reduce Winvesta fees?

  • Payment method: Ask clients to pay by local bank transfer to your account details, which usually costs less than cards, wallets or Swift wires.
  • Invoice size: Where a platform charges a flat fee per payment, fewer and larger invoices lower the cost as a share of revenue.
  • Conversion: Compare the rate offered with the mid-market rate on the day, because the FX markup is often the larger cost.
  • GST: Keep the platform's tax invoices, since GST paid on fees may be claimable as input tax credit if you are GST registered.
