Compare the dollars reaching the account
Dollar payments depend on the receiving account details and payout route. Confirm the required details and any receiving charges with the recipient, then compare Wise and bank quotes for the same dollar amount.

| Exchange rate | Shown in the quote for your currencies and amount. | Ask for the rate that will actually apply, including any conversion margin. |
| Transfer fee | Shown before confirmation; varies by route and payment method. | Check sending charges, minimum fees and your account benefits. |
| Other charges | Check whether your funding or receiving bank charges separately. | Request SWIFT, intermediary and receiving-bank charges as well. |
