Find out how much it costs to send money overseas

The cost of your transfer comes from the fee and the exchange rate. Many high street banks offer “no fee”, while hiding a markup in the exchange rate, making you pay more.

At Wise, we’ll never do that. We only use the mid-market exchange rate, and show our fees upfront. This table compares the fees you’d really pay when sending money with the most popular banks and providers, or with us.

How to send money overseas in 3 easy steps

Money transfer fees

How much does it cost to send money overseas?

You can use our handy calculator to find out exactly how much will you pay for your transfer. The cost depends on where you will be sending money from and to, as well as on your chosen payment method.

No big fees, hidden or otherwise. So it's cheaper than what you're used to.

Delivery time for money transfers overseas from Australia

90% of all money transfers from Australia are delivered in 1 business day from the moment we receive payment.

We do everything to complete your money transfer as soon as possible - the final delivery time of your transfer depends on your chosen payment method, where are you sending to and from or when your payment arrives to our account.

As an FCA regulated company we occasionally need to run security checks and request extra documentation, which might have impact on your delivery time.
