Quick answer

Withdrawal cost depends heavily on the method. Deel's own blog lists SWIFT at $25-45 and Instant Card Transfer at up to $15, so switching method is the main way to cut fees.

Most likely fix: Pick a cheaper method

How to fix it

Try these in order — the most common fix is first.

  1. 1. Pick a cheaper method

    1. Compare fees shown before confirming each withdrawal
    2. Connect Wise, which has no Deel withdrawal fee, or use Payoneer (1%, min $12)
    Did this fix it?
  2. 2. Batch withdrawals

    1. Withdraw less often to pay flat fees fewer times
    Did this fix it?
  3. 3. Use the Deel card

    1. Spend in USD directly with no fee; 1.5% applies to non-USD purchases
    Did this fix it?
