Word origin

手续费 (shǒuxùfèi, "processing fee") joins 手续 (shǒuxù, "formalities") with 费 (fèi, "fee"), making a direct compound for money charged when those formal steps are handled.

Usage tips

  • On bank apps and payment screens, this charge may appear as a separate line from the amount transferred, so the amount sent and the amount received can differ.
