A low fee is only part of the price
Compare the total shekels debited with the amount delivered in the destination currency. A small service fee can be outweighed by a less favorable exchange rate or an additional receiving-bank charge.
| What to compare | Wise | Your Israeli bank |
|---|---|---|
| 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. |
| Recipient amount | Check the destination currency and quoted receiving amount. | Ask how much should arrive after all deductions. |
