Save on exchange rate markups

The cost of your transfer comes from the fee and the exchange rate. Many high street banks offer “no fee”, while hiding a markup in the exchange rate, making you pay more.

At Wise, we’ll never do that. We only use the mid-market exchange rate, and show our fees upfront. This table compares the fees you’d really pay when sending money with the most popular banks and providers, or with us.

What is Swift money transfer?

Making a SWIFT money transfer with Wise is as easy as sending a wire to anyone else. You’ll be able to use your own bank’s online or mobile banking service, or set up your SWIFT transfer by phone, or in a branch - whatever you’d normally do. That makes a SWIFT money transfer familiar and convenient, no matter where you’re sending money to.

SWIFT money transfers with Wise may have the highest available payment limits, and your money will usually be received pretty quickly by Wise. That means Wise can get it moving to your recipient quicker, too.
