The more you send, the more you save
Many banks add 3% or more in hidden fees to the exchange rate — and it quickly adds up on large transfers. Worst of all, this fee is hard to spot unless you know to look.
With TransferWise, the price you see is the price you pay. No hidden fees. We lower our percentage fee on large transfers too — so the more you send, the more you save.

The best ways to send money abroad
Choosing the right way to send money with TransferWise will depend on where you’re sending money from and to, and your payment method. Some payment methods are faster than others. Some can be instant, while others are cheaper.
Here are the best ways to transfer money abroad with TransferWise:
TransferWise is easy
How to make a cheap money transfer internationally
TransferWise makes cheap international money transfers a breeze.

- And that's it.
TransferWise converts your money at the 'inter-bank' rate – the real rate – so you save big time (even versus the guys saying there's 'zero' commission). On TransferWise, there's no room for sneaky bank surcharges or creeping hidden charges.
Things to consider to find a truly cheap way to send money abroad
-
Fees
Many businesses state low fees or even offer consumers fee-free transfers, but most of the expense of sending money abroad is hidden. The bulk of consumer costs can be concealed in poor exchange rates.
-
Exchange rates
A quick Google search will show you an exchange rate. But if you compare it to the exchange rate offered by banks and traditional money transfer services, you’ll find their rate is often much worse.
-
Transfer time
Traditional banks and international money remittances often take several working days. TransferWise is often much faster: a lot of transfers are completed within 1 business day. Many of our transfers are even instant.
-
Security and financial protection
TransferWise is an Electronic Money Institution independently regulated by the Financial Conduct Authority (FCA). With TransferWise, you’ll know where your money is every step of the way.
