How Transfers Work
TransferWise lets you send and receive funds between many countries with minimal markup on the mid-market exchange rate. You initiate a transfer in the app, choose the destination currency, and fund the transfer via a supported payment method. Transfers are routed efficiently to reduce costs and time, helping you avoid the extra fees that banks frequently add.
