Wise Transfer Fees

We've analyzed Wise transfer fees based on 1769 currency pairs. We’ve looked at sending 1,000 and 100,000 in the origin currency.

In general, we found that fees are much higher for lower transfer amounts vs larger transfers.

On average, Wise adds a fee of 3.76%. The fee is worked out as a percentage of the total fees in relation to the transfer amount.

Of 1769 currency combinations, 108 currency pairs have fees lower or equal to 0.33%, while all others are higher.

Key findings

Here's a quick summary of Wise transfer fees and our findings.

1. Economies of scale and fee reductions vary across countries and currencies

Increasing the transfer amount typically leads to lower fee percentages due to economies of scale.

For example, in Australia, the fee percentage decreases significantly when transferring from 1,000 AUD to 100,000 AUD across all currencies.

However, this reduction is not consistent everywhere.

In Canada, fees for the Georgian Lari (GEL) decrease only slightly from 1.80% at 1,000 CAD to 1.43% at 100,000 CAD, indicating limited economies of scale.

Similarly, in Denmark, fees for the Ukrainian Hryvnia (UAH) decrease minimally from 0.80% to 0.72% when increasing the transfer amount from 1,000 DKK to 100,000 DKK.

2. Exceptionally high fees for small transfers to certain currencies
3. Variability and regional disparities in fees and transfer times
4. Rapid transfer times for certain currencies from specific countries
5. Persistent high fees for specific destinations despite larger transfer amounts
6. Impact of regulatory requirements and local banking costs
7. Cheapest and most expensive currencies
8. Importance of comparing fees before transferring

The data below is broken down by country and summarizes key findings.

Australia

  • Decreasing fee percentages with higher transfer amounts: As the transfer amount increases from 1,000 AUD to 100,000 AUD, the fee percentage decreases significantly across all currencies.

  • Exchange rate variations between small and large transfers: The exchange rates for some currencies show minor differences between 1,000 AUD and 100,000 AUD transfer amounts. For example, for 1,000 AUD the exchange rate is 2.46887 vs for 100,000 AUD it is 2.46336.

  • Consistent processing times across transfer amounts: The processing time does not increase with higher transfer amounts, which is beneficial for urgent large transfers.

  • Lower fees for transfers to stable economies: Transfers to countries with stable economies continue to offer lower fees, which become even more favorable with larger amounts. For example for a 1,000 AUD transfer to CAD, the fee is 0.53% vs 0.30% for 100,000 AUD.

  • Higher fees for transfers to emerging market currencies: Currencies from emerging markets often have higher fee percentages. For example, a 1,000 AUD transfer to Uruguayan Peso (UYU) has a fee of 3.08%, Moroccan Dirham (MAD) is 2.57%, and Colombian Peso (COP) is 2.41%.

Brazil

  • Cost-effectiveness of larger transfers: Larger transfers are more cost-effective on a percentage basis, benefiting users who need to send substantial amounts. For example, if the 1,000 BRL fee percentage to UYU (Uruguayan Peso) was applied to 100,000 BRL, the fee would be 8,470 BRL, so the actual fee represents a saving of 5,747.45 BRL.

  • Varied transfer times across currencies: Transfer times can range from immediate to 72 hours, which may impact users needing quick transfers. Some transfers such as PHP, MYR, and HKD are immediate while NOK, MAD, and CLP can take up to 72 hours.

  • Non-uniform decrease in fee percentages for larger transfers: The fee percentage does not decrease uniformly across all currencies when increasing the transfer amount. For example, the MAD (Moroccan Dirham) decreased from 5.49% to 3.45% (a reduction of 2.04 percentage points) while the Canadian Dollar decreased from 2.41% to 1.85% (a reduction of 0.56 percentage points).

Bulgaria

  • Uniformly low fees for major currencies, even at small amounts: Transferring 1,000 BGN to major currencies like AUD, CAD, CHF, DKK, NOK, SGD, and NZD incurs low fees ranging from 1.11% to 1.20%, offering Bulgarian users predictable and affordable costs for small transfers.

  • Higher fees persist for certain currencies despite larger transfers: Even when increasing the transfer amount to 100,000 BGN, some currencies like CRC (1.57% fee), GEL (1.58%), and UYU (1.38%) maintain higher fees compared to major currencies where fees drop to as low as 0.53%. This indicates that factors like currency volatility and local banking costs continue to impact fees for these currencies.

  • Longer transfer times are common for larger amounts: Many currencies require longer transfer times of 48 to 72 hours for larger transfers. For example, sending 100,000 BGN to CLP, ILS, NOK, and UYU can take up to 72 hours, suggesting that higher-value transfers may involve more processing and compliance checks. Users should plan accordingly for these potential delays.

  • Exceptionally long transfer times for certain currencies: Transfers to Norwegian Krone (NOK) and Israeli Shekel (ILS) can take up to 144 hours (6 days), much longer than the typical 24 to 72 hours, possibly due to additional regulatory requirements or banking procedures.

  • Minimal fee percentage decrease for larger transfers in some currencies: For currencies like Georgian Lari (GEL), the fee only decreases slightly from 1.80% at 1,000 CAD to 1.43% at 100,000 CAD, indicating limited economies of scale.

  • Consistently low fees for small transfers to major currencies: Sending 1,000 CAD to major currencies like AUD, CHF, SGD, and DKK incurs low fees below 0.75%, making it cost-effective to send money to stable economies regardless of the transfer amount.

China

  • Exceptionally high fees for small transfers from CNY: Transferring 1,000 CNY incurs high fees ranging from 9.45% to 19.26%, significantly higher than fees from other countries, likely due to stricter regulations and higher processing costs in China.

  • Significant decrease in fees for large transfers, but still higher than other currencies: For 100,000 CNY transfers, fees drop to 0.71% to 2.34%, but remain higher compared to large transfers from other countries where fees often fall below 1%.

  • Consistently high fees across all destination currencies for small transfers: High fees around 10% or more are consistent across all destinations when transferring 1,000 CNY, suggesting that origin country factors heavily influence fees more than the destination.

  • Consistently low fees for small transfers from the US: Sending 1,000 USD incurs low fees often below 1%, e.g., 0.65% to AUD and 0.66% to DKK, making small transfers cost-effective.

  • Exceptionally fast transfer times for certain currencies: Transfers to currencies like HKD, HUF, THB, MYR, PKR, LKR, and VND are completed almost instantly, often within seconds to a minute.

  • Minimal fee reductions for larger transfers: Increasing the transfer amount to 100,000 USD results in only modest fee decreases, with fees dropping by only 0.2% to 0.4%, indicating minimal economies of scale due to already low fees.
