Send pounds the wise way

Want to save money when you send pounds? There’s a smarter, cheaper way to send money internationally.

When you convert currencies with traditional providers, such as a bank, a broker or PayPal, you typically pay a lot more than you expect. On top of fees they charge, they use an exchange rate with a mark-up, which often ends up costing you more than what you thought you’d pay.

Wise is different. We’re on a mission to build faster, cheaper and fairer international payments. Our fees are completely transparent and they’re a fraction of what banks or brokers usually charge. We use the real exchange rate with no mark-up, so you know exactly how much you’re paying every time. It's international banking built the right way.

How Wise works:

• Our transfers are fast, fair and low cost – the fee is typically below 1% of the total amount you're sending plus a small fixed fee.
• You always get the real exchange rate for your pounds - with no costly mark-up.
• You can make GBP transfers straight from wise.com, or from our iOS and Android apps.
• You can send money with Wise directly to other bank accounts or to the Wise borderless account, which lets you spend, send and receive money in multiple currencies.

“Beyond saving me time and money, another thing Wise gives me is the efficiency and transparency I need to keep strong relationships with people I pay around the world for my small business. Getting payments to them in a timely manner with no stress about exchange rates has helped me enormously.”
