Banks and other transfer services have a dirty little secret. They add hidden markups to their exchange rates - charging you more without your knowledge. And if they have a fee, they charge you twice.
TransferWise never hides fees in the exchange rate. We give you the real rate, independently provided by Reuters. Compare our rate and fee with Western Union, ICICI Bank, WorldRemit and more, and see the difference for yourself.

Beware of bad exchange rates. Banks and traditional providers often have extra costs, which they pass to you by marking up the exchange rate. Our smart tech means we’re more efficient – which means you get a great rate. Every time.
What is the mid-market exchange rate?
There’s only one fair exchange rate.
Banks and other providers often set their own, unfriendly exchange rates. It means that you pay more than you need to, and they pocket the difference.
We do it differently. We always give you the real, mid-market exchange rate — like you’d find on Google or Reuters.
