What is Pricing model?

In short

How a provider makes money from your account, either a flat charge or a fee on what you do with it.

A pricing model is the pattern behind what a provider charges: a flat monthly amount, a per transfer cost, or a mark-up on currency exchange. Compare the pattern, not just the monthly figure, because a free monthly fee can still mean paying for every payment. 1822direkt runs a no monthly fee model, and 2gether combines no monthly fee and low fx, which covers both a free monthly fee and a low cost on currency exchange. Ask how a provider earns from a product before you assume it costs you nothing.
