Overall Satisfaction with TransferWise
My use of TransferWise has been personal. My father passed away in the Fall of 2020. One of my siblings lives in Japan and it was necessary to find a way to transfer his inheritance to him. TransferWise was not only very easy to use but was lightning fast. I've sent traditional international wires, which usually require multiple days to make it overseas. TransferWise has a domestic office that serves as a go-between for transfers. So, even though the money I was sending was going international, the wire was domestic. This made it cheaper on the sending bank side (domestic wire transfers were less than international transfers). But best of all, the money was sent and released to my brother within one business. That's incredible! I used TransferWise several times to move funds over to him and would use it again any day.
Pros
- Quick - because funds are transferred domestically, even when going international, you don't have to wait long.
- Easy - the printout of what information I needed to give the sending bank was complete and easy to understand.
- Affordable - the fees on both ends were minimal.
Cons
- Popularity - the bank I took the form to regarded it with suspicion at first. They had never heard of TransferWise and I had to wait for a while for them to authenticate it.
- Ease of use.
- Fast
- No hidden fees.
- Having to wait on money transfers is anxiety-producing for everyone involved. I really appreciated the peace of mind that comes from the quick efficiency of their method.
