Instant money transfers

Sending money anywhere in the world should be as quick and painless as sending an email. But the old banks’ systems weren’t built for sending money abroad — so we’re building a new one.

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.

How fast is instant?

A payment is instant when it arrives within 20 seconds. And sometimes they’re even quicker. So, your payments could arrive before you can say ‘hidden bank fees’.

Right now, 21% of our transfers are instant. But our mission is to build instant transfers for everyone, everywhere. So if your chosen currency route isn’t instant yet, make sure to check the speed of your transfer in our calculator.

FAQs

Currency routes — sometimes it’s quicker to send from one particular currency to another. Payment method — compare methods and choose the one that gets your money to its destination fastest. Extra checks — some routes and larger transfers might need to double checked just to be sure
You can always check the status of the transfer from your Activity feed. Log in to TransferWise. Click on Activity. Find the transfer, and click View transfer details
Transfers can take longer when: You used a slower payment method (eg. bank transfer) - while it costs you less, banks can take 1-2 business days to send us the funds. You sent the money just before weekends and bank holidays - unfortunately banking hours are beyond our control, and can slow down the transfer.
If you want to send money faster; Review and confirm the recipient details are correct. Choose a faster payment method (eg. card payment). Make sure your account is verified. Please note, if you set up payments close to the weekend, money may not reach the recipient until the next working day.
