Instead, next time you’re sending money overseas try Wise.

If you also want better ways to spend and receive foreign currencies, you could consider the Wise account. Open a Wise account for free and order a linked Wise card for a one time fee you can add to Google Pay for mobile payments all over the world with no foreign transaction fees to pay.
