Read our latest Mission UpdateWe’re upfront about our fees. No asterisks. No small print. No hidden fees.
Our average fee is now 0.53%. That means it costs 25% less to use Wise than it did five years ago. We’re always working to lower your fees by finding better ways to move your money. Here’s how we do it.
Connect directly with banks, cutting out the middlemen so you pay less
The more people who use Wise, the lower the fees for everyone
Regularly review fees and drop them whenever moving money gets cheaper
You should never have to wonder where your money is, so we make your money move fast and far. 74% of your transfers now arrive before you can say ‘it’s on its way’ — in under 20 seconds. That’s nearly double what it was five years ago. Here’s how we do it.
Building a global network of local banks, so your transfer can avoid intermediary delays and charges
Linking directly to local systems like Faster Payments and PIX to move money at the source
Our tech runs 24/7, so your money doesn’t have to wait

Brits lose £3.1 billion a year to hidden fees. Inflated exchange rates from some big banks make it hard to see what you’re really being charged. So, we popped up in Brick Lane, London showing just how absurdly tiny that small print can get — about the size of grains of rice.

We’ve all overpaid at some point — usually without realising. The Don T. Overpay campaign is a reminder that moving money abroad shouldn’t cost more than it needs to. With transparent fees and the real mid-market rate, Don T. Overpay helps you spot the hidden costs and make smarter choices next time, so more of your money stays yours.

Regulations for international payment fees vary worldwide. Some are stricter than others, giving providers room to hide fees from consumers. We’re dedicated to holding global banks accountable, so you always know exactly what you pay.

“Once account are set up and verified, this is the easiest way I have found to move money quickly from my accounts in the US to my home in Mexico. Outstanding service and I always get the market rate on the exchange. Much better than wiring money bank to bank.”

Wise was launched in 2011 with the vision of making international money transfers affordable, fair, and simple.
Our founders, Kristo and Taavet, put their heads together to invent a solution to their own challenges. Both from Estonia but living in London, they were paid in different currencies than their mortgages and living expenses.
Moving money with their banks proved to be expensive, slow and convoluted. They knew there had to be a better way — and Wise was the answer.
