Strengths and weaknesses
Wise
- Fees and exchange rate shown before you send
- Hold, convert and spend many currencies in one account
- Wise says 77% of transfers now arrive instantly
- Not a full bank, so no loans or overdrafts
- Card, interest and account features vary by country
- App Store label shows data used for tracking
Wise is the easiest way to move money across borders without losing a chunk to poor exchange rates. It uses the mid-market rate and shows its fee upfront, so you know exactly what arrives. The multi-currency account, debit card and jars make travel and freelancing simpler, and in some countries your balance can now earn interest. It is not a full bank, though, and fees on less common routes add up.
