Small percentages become meaningful amounts

The table shows hypothetical cost differences, not advertised Wise fees or a savings promise. For a large payment, compare the net recipient amount and every bank charge using a quote for the full amount.

Prepare funding and documents

Check your bank’s daily sending limit, the recipient’s details and the documents the provider requests. Allow time for verification before a property, tuition or other deadline.

Compare the quote you can execute

A volume discount depends on the provider’s conditions. Check its eligible volume, currency and period, then use the final quote. Do not split payments to avoid verification requirements.

When will the money arrive?
