Binance vs. Interactive Brokers vs. Wise

If you are into crypto, it is definitely a platform that needs to be used for your business if you want to adapt to a modern-day solution. Especially with a lot of exchanges platform or crypto platforms around, I do think it's a good idea to find one that is highly regulated and well known in the industry. That's why Binance is a go too platform.

Interactive Brokers is appropriate for retail equity investing and pension accounts holding - totally appropriate. Institutional accounts and proprietary trading group accounts - appropriate for those managing risks themselves because there is no automatic or supervised control and you trade at your own discretion. Not appropriate - is you look for crypto trading with instruments not accepted by regulator authorities as featured instruments with acceptable risk, to make sustainable and regulated investments with the main aim to preserve capital. All not regulated instruments are not appropriate and it is good and professional.

For a small business looking to expand internationally, transferwise offers lower admin fee and no hidden fee which is very important. It also remove the hassle and headache of setting up accounts with the local banks. Other than the low fees, the best part is we can use transferwise safely with a peace of mind as it is being regulated by the MAS. Lastly, any small business can set up their transferwise account within minutes which is very convenient
