{% hint style="info" %}
Wire fees depend on your tier. Each tier includes a set number of free wires per 30-day period; higher tiers earn more free wires and lower transaction fees. **Your sending/intermediary bank may apply its own charges, which are outside our control.**
{% endhint %}

## Prerequisites

* ✅ **Verified Backpack Exchange account**
* ✅ **Available USD balance in your Bank Account**

## Wire fee schedule

***Important Notes:***

* **Fee tiers are recalculated hourly, and your VIP status is updated accordingly.**
* **Effective tier is determined based on your BP Stake, trading volume and pre-TGE Mad Lad NFT holding, whichever tier is highest.**
* **Our USDT/USDC trading pair is subject to a 0% fee, which means that trades on this pair do not count toward your 30-day volume requirements for fee tier upgrades.**
