Banks and transfer services have a dirty little secret. They create their own exchange rates to make their customers pay a hidden markup. But we here at Wise have a solution.

Wise always gives you the real exchange rate, just like the one you’ll see on Google. So when you make an international money transfer, you’ll know exactly what you’re getting. No nasty surprises — just the best {targetCurrencyText} rate, with a fair, transparent fee upfront.

How to avoid losing money on the {targetCurrencyText} exchange rate?

Wise is committed to giving you more for your money.

We collect fees and rates from the most popular money transfer providers — so you don’t have to. We calculate the full price you’ll pay when sending {sourceCurrency} to {targetCurrency} with each provider — including the hidden markup in the exchange rate.

We want to bring you the best {targetCurrencyText} rate possible, so we’ve compared the prices for sending money from one bank account to another. Sending cash or sending a money transfer from a bank branch usually costs more in extra fees.

Different currency services use different fee structures, which can make it hard to see which is the best foreign exchange for your needs. Some use upfront commission, but it’s also common for providers to hide their fees in the exchange rate they use. This way they can offer an attractive headline like ‘zero commission’ or ‘fee free exchange’ while still making money from currency conversion. To find the best currency exchange rates for your travel money, you’ll need to compare a few providers - looking at both the fees and the exchange rates used.

You might find it easier and cheaper to use a travel debit like the Wise <a>[travelMoneyCard]</a> when you’re away from home. You can top up in pounds and convert to the currency you need using the mid-market exchange rate with no hidden fees. There’s just a low transparent fee for currency conversion, and then you can spend any currency you hold using your card for free, and get free ATM withdrawals up to £200 each month.

1. Banks trade at the real rate. When exchanging {targetCurrencyText} between themselves, banks and transfer services use the mid-market rate (also known as the interbank rate). It’s the fairest possible rate. The real exchange rate.

2. They add a hidden markup for customers. This is why you’ll see different exchange rates across providers. You’re paying the difference between the mid-market rate and the rate quoted by your transfer service.

3. You lose money. You’re charged the hidden markup when you make a transfer — often without even realising. Even when services claim to have zero fees, you’re still being charged.

When travelling abroad for business or pleasure, you might need {targetCurrencyText} to spend in restaurants, shops and bars. It can be tempting to buy {targetCurrencyText} in cash from high street banks, a local bureau de change, or by home delivery, but these methods can cost you more. Instead, save money on the exchange rate with a Wise multi-currency debit card.

With the Wise debit card, you can send and spend money at the real exchange rate, and convert it instantly. Withdraw money from ATMs abroad — with no fees on your first £200 every 30 days — or pay in shops and restaurants around the world. It’s taken everywhere that takes Mastercard.

Banks and other providers often set their own, unfriendly exchange rates. It means that you pay more than you need to, and they pocket the difference.We do it differently. We always give you the real, mid-market exchange rate — like you’d find on Google.

There’s only one fair exchange rate

Lots of providers offer transfers that are ‘free’ or ‘0% commission’. Truth is, ‘free’ international money transfers don’t exist. Because every time you send money, you pay something. In lots of cases, you lose money on that unfriendly exchange rate — even if there are no fees advertised upfront.

There’s no such thing as a free transfer

How much a transfer really costs is made up of two things — the fees, and the exchange rate. So make sure you check both. To see whether you’re getting a good deal, look at how much of your money arrives on the other side.

You’ll need travel money - also called holiday money or holiday currency - if you’re planning a trip abroad. Ensure you compare travel money to find the best currency exchange rates.

Your travel money could be sterling cash you’re planning on taking to a money exchange in your destination, or foreign currency you buy at a currency exchange before leaving the UK. To avoid carrying cash you can also choose a prepaid <a>[travelMoneyCard]</a>, or use a debit card to spend and make ATM withdrawals while you’re away.

The currency rates you’ll get at an airport or hotel - or tourist rates in your final destination - are often not great value. You’ll usually find you pay a high price for the convenience of converting your cash on arrival. Compare travel money and plan how to manage your money before you travel to get the best currency exchange rates.

What is travel money?

It’s simple. The lower the cost of converting your money to {targetCurrencyCode}, the more money for you. That’s why it’s important to see the full cost of an international transfer before you send it.

When sending money abroad, banks or other providers will likely charge you a conversion fee. But that’s not all. Hidden markups in the exchange rate can end up costing even more than the conversion fee itself. This means that when sending international transfers, many banks and providers charge you twice. All without telling you.

And if you decide to convert your money in cash, you could be charged:

- and extra delivery charges, if you’re ordering your money in advance

You should always look for the best possible exchange rate, regardless of the conversion method you’re using.

Why does getting a good {targetCurrencyText} exchange rate matter?

It’s free to pay with any currency you hold in your account, and if you want to convert your money to a different currency, you’ll get low conversion fees and zero transaction fees. You can use the card to make ATM withdrawals in your chosen currency, which are free up to £200 a month. Avoid expensive (and often hidden) fees when withdrawing money while abroad, by choosing to withdraw in the local currency and leaving Wise to deal with the conversion.
