Australia Price Comparison Research
Discover how Wise compares to major banks and money transfer services, saving you up to 4x on international transactions.
A dedicated comparison research team in Wise compared Wise to four India bank accounts. They found that we’re on average 3x cheaper to send ₹9,000 abroad. This is based on the prices offered by Wise Payments India Private Limited during the research period.
Research methodology
The competitor research was collected in June 2023 during a 5 day period (26/06/2023 - 30/06/2023).
They looked at data across multiple countries, currencies, and price points to make sure any price claims we make are fair and accurate. The data was collected by simulating a transfer using live accounts on the providers website, during standard trading hours and at the same time every day, whenever possible, to ensure consistency across the comparison.
The research scope looked at the following, across GBP, EUR and USD using ₹9000 as the transaction value:
The costs collected for sending money abroad are made up of both the foreign transaction fee and any exchange rate markup. The exchange rate markup is a percentage added to the mid-market exchange rate by a provider when they sell you a currency.

Total cost to send ₹9,000. Overall, Wise is 3x cheaper.
