Why it costs more than the fee: UGX and RWF both price through the US dollar — there is no deep direct UGX/RWF market. So the route's true cost includes each currency's spread to USD: you can lose a little on BOTH conversions, not just on the visible transfer fee. Compare the USD-anchored rates above, not only the headline fee.
