Both options spend US$1,000 in total. Option A charges no transfer fee; option B deducts US$5.
Assume exchange rates of 31.50 and 31.80 Taiwan dollars per US dollar, with no other charges.
A delivers 1,000 × 31.50 = NT$31,500. B delivers 995 × 31.80 = NT$31,641.
B delivers NT$141 more in this hypothetical example. These are not live quotes; compare all applicable charges.
