We’re updating our fees
This blog post is to update our customers about changes in price and is not a marketing communication.
We regularly review our fees to reflect the real cost of moving your money - so you never pay more than you need to.
The fee for your transfer is based on:
- the currency you're sending from,
- the currency the recipient receives, and
- how you're funding the transfer.
After the latest review, fees for some routes got more expensive and others got cheaper. For example, the currency you’re sending from may have gotten cheaper, while the destination currency may have gotten more expensive - this could offset the impact of the changes for your transfer.
The rest of this post outlines the currencies and payment methods that have changed. You can download this information as a PDF.
Our pricing calculator can tell you how much your next transfer might cost.

When do price changes apply to me?
We’ll always let you know if and when we change the prices of our fees. The date for these changes depends on where you live, how you fund transfers, and whether the fee is decreasing or increasing.
Price decreases
When we decrease our prices, the change is immediately available for all Wise customers. We’ll do this before notifying you, so that you can start benefiting from the savings as soon as possible.
Price increases for sending money
If you’ve funded your transfers from an account outside Wise via a bank transfer or a debit/credit card — we’ll notify you before a price increase if you've sent money using that currency in the past 6 months.
Price increases for using your Wise account and Wise card
If you use fund transfers from your Wise balance, convert currencies between Wise balances, or spend using the Wise card — we’ll notify you before a price increase within 7-62 days, depending on where you live. Check below for your notification period*.
