A cheaper, faster way to send money abroad

Join over 6 million people who get the real exchange rate with TransferWise. We’re up to 8x cheaper than banks.

TransferWise – the clever new way to send money abroad

Banks and other providers often add a markup to their exchange rate while advertising low fees, which means you could be paying huge hidden charges.

TransferWise uses the real Reuters exchange rate and charges a low, transparent fee. That’s why it’s cheaper. It’s only fair. It’s your money.

Your questions, answered.

Routing numbers, SWIFT codes, BIC and IBANs – what’s the difference?

You’ll need a few details to send or receive a transfer – either domestically or internationally.

IBANs (international bank account numbers) identify individual bank accounts. They're issued by many banks in Europe, but banks elsewhere in the world are starting to adopt them as well.

Routing numbers help identify banks when processing domestic ACH payments or wire transfers. But only in the United States. You don't need one to make a payment to your friend in France, for example.

SWIFT codes, like routing numbers, also identify banks and financial institutions. This time for international payments. They're sometimes known as BIC codes.

Do I need an IBAN number?

It depends on the country you're sending money to. In the Eurozone, you'll always need an IBAN and a SWIFT/BIC code. Banks in the USA use SWIFT codes, but they don't use IBANs. It's the same in New Zealand too. More on IBAN numbers.

How do banks create a SWIFT/BIC code?

Banks and other institutions create SWIFT codes to represent individual bank accounts. They combine local account information into a string of characters.
