Convert
$20,000 USD
to Israeli new shekels

The daily mid-market USD/ILS rate updates above every minute from Frankfurter / European Central Bank data. The rate IsraTransfer offers you on a $20,000 transfer is that mid-market rate plus a transparent margin disclosed up front — typically tighter than the 2–3% built into a US or Israeli bank's retail rate.

There are no fees on a $20,000 transfer with IsraTransfer — the cost is in the FX margin only, which is disclosed before you confirm. Compare that to a typical US bank: roughly 3% margin on the rate (≈₪1,250–₪1,500 on this size) plus a $25–$50 SWIFT charge. The all-in saving on $20,000 is usually around ₪1,000–₪1,500 versus a local bank quote.

Generally we receive funds the next business day, though this depends on factors outside our control. After we receive them, the bank may need additional time to clear them before they’re available to convert.

Under Israeli AML rules ($20,000 is well below the standard reporting thresholds for source-of-funds documentation. You'll go through ISA-mandated identity verification once, but you typically won't need to supply contracts, payslips, or sale-of-asset documents at this size. Anything above roughly $100,000 starts to require additional source-of-funds checks.

Yes. Forward contracts are available from $10,000 upwards — you fix today's rate and execute the transfer up to 12 months later, useful if you've signed a contract in shekels but the funds aren't ready yet. A small margin reflects the forward points but you remove the FX risk entirely. Speak to the team to discuss more about forward contracts.
