International money transfers

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.

- And that's it.
Wise converts your money at the 'inter-bank' rate – the real rate – so you save big time (even versus the guys saying there's 'zero' commission). On Wise, there's no room for sneaky bank surcharges or creeping hidden charges.
How much does it cost to send money abroad?
Pay a small, flat fee and percentage
To send money in MYR to LKR, you pay a small, flat fee of 12.20 MYR + 0.71% of the amount that's converted (you'll always see the total cost upfront). See our transfer calculator.
Fee depends on your chosen transfer type
Some transfer types have different fees which are usually tiny.
No hidden fees
No big fees, hidden or otherwise. So it's cheaper than what you're used to.
How long will a money transfer take?
On many popular routes, Wise can send your money within one day, as a same day transfer, or even an instant money transfer.
