Save on exchange rate markups

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 with a debit card in 3 easy steps

What is Debit Card money transfer?

Making a debit card transfer is easy and convenient, and can come with speedy delivery times, too. You’ll see an estimate of your payment’s arrival time before you confirm your transfer - but paying by card can often be a fast way of getting your money moving.

You can make a debit card money transfer with Wise using a Visa or Mastercard debit card that’s issued in your name - or the name of your business if you hold a Wise Business account. Some Maestro debit cards are also supported - but unfortunately, you can’t make a Wise debit card money transfer using an American Express card.

Your card will need to have a 16 digit number, an expiry date, and be 3D security enabled - this helps us keep you and your money safe.

There are also a small number of other specific situations in which you can’t make a Wise debit card money transfer, depending on where your card was issued, where your Wise account is registered, and the payment you’re sending.

How much does it cost to send money with a debit card?

To send money with a debit card with Wise, you will pay a small, flat fee and a percentage of the amount that's converted. We will always show you the total cost upfront - and you can rely that we won't hide any further fees in the exchange rate.

Sending money shouldn’t cost the earth, so we built Wise to save you money when you transfer and exchange internationally. We charge as little as possible: right now a tiny fee, eventually free.

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

How long does a money transfer with a debit card take?
