Swift Transfer Fee and Speed Disclaimer 2025
Date: August 26, 2025
At Wise, our mission is to make cross-border payments instant, convenient, and transparent. We're continuously working to build the best way to move and manage the world's money. This disclaimer covers our performance on three key pillars: transparency, speed, and pricing for Wise’s Swift transfers.
No Surprises: Recipient receives the full amount
At Wise, we are committed to transparency and ensuring your recipient gets the amount you intend to send. Our smart routing technology works to predict potential intermediary fees, so you can send with confidence.
In Q2 2025, our data showed the following percentages for transfers where the recipient received the full amount:
- gUSD: 77.55% of transfers
- gEUR: 42% of transfers
- gGBP: 82% of transfers
While we're proud that our technology helps ensure the recipient receives the full amount in the majority of transactions, especially for USD and GBP, we're actively working to improve the full delivery rate across all currencies.
Disclaimer: The percentages listed above are based on historical data from Q2 2025 and are for informational purposes only. The ability for a recipient to receive the full amount can depend on various factors, including the policies of the recipient's bank and the correspondent bank network. We cannot guarantee that a recipient will receive the full amount in every transaction. The actual outcome of any specific transfer may vary.
Speed: Our Progress Towards Instant Payments
We are committed to making international payments, including Swift transfers, as fast as possible. Based on our data from Q2 2025, here is the time it takes for money to reach the recipient account for some major currencies:
- Sending US dollar outside of the United States: 75% of transfers delivered in under 24 hours(*)
- Sending Euro outside of SEPA region: 65% of transfers delivered in under 24 hours
- Sending British pounds outside of the United Kingdom: 78% of transfers delivered in under 24 hours
Our goal is to maintain our high standards and we are working on making them even faster.
Disclaimer: Transaction speed claimed depends on funds availability, approval by Wise’s proprietary verification system and systems availability of our partners’ banking system, and may not be available for all transactions.
