Instant money transfers

Q: What affects the speed of my transfer?

Currency routes — sometimes it’s quicker to send from one particular currency to another. Payment method — compare methods and choose the one that gets your money to its destination fastest. Extra checks — some routes and larger transfers might need to double checked just to be sure

Q: How can I check the status of my transfer?

You can always check the status of the transfer from your Activity feed. Log in to Wise. Click on Activity. Find the transfer, and click View transfer details

Q: Why might a transfer take longer than estimated?

Transfers can take longer when: You used a slower payment method (eg. bank transfer) - while it costs you less, banks can take 1-2 business days to send us the funds. You sent the money just before weekends and bank holidays - unfortunately banking hours are beyond our control, and can slow down the transfer.

Q: How can I send money faster?

If you want to send money faster; Review and confirm the recipient details are correct. Choose a faster payment method (eg. card payment). Make sure your account is verified. Please note, if you set up payments close to the weekend, money may not reach the recipient until the next working day.

Sending money anywhere in the world should be as quick and painless as sending an email. But the old banks’ systems weren’t built for sending money abroad — so we’re building a new one.
