I would like to send my friend in India $1 USD. Does Unified Payment Interface make this possible?
Traditional wire transfer certainly cannot, since the fees alone are many times larger than $1 USD.
- vinay_ys 7y agoMy point is Libra isn't needed for person-to-person or person-to-merchant transfers within India. The international small amount transfer use-case is extremely rare and unlikely to take-off because of Libra. In any case, you seem to be assuming Libra won't charge forex fees for converting between Libra and fiat currency. They have not said so. It is very likely they will charge. I don't see any reason why the banks involved in exchanging Libra with fiat currency to behave any differently than they do today. They will play with the buy/sell rates to make money on both sides of the trade.
