Wise: sending GBP to USD
Wise — Converts at the mid-market exchange rate with a separate, transparent fee.
About Wise
Wise (formerly TransferWise) converts money at the mid-market exchange rate and charges a separate, clearly itemised fee, rather than building its margin into the rate.
Because it uses the real mid-market rate, Wise is usually one of the strongest options for straightforward bank-to-bank transfers on the routes it serves.
Best for: Transparent pricing and a near-zero FX margin — ideal when you want bank-to-bank.
