Wise is a money app for sending money, receiving payments from abroad, checking exchange rates, paying bills, and sending money to loved ones. It sends to bank accounts in over 140 countries; delivery on many popular routes is within a day, the same day, or instant.

Sending to another Wise account has no sending fee, though conversion fees may still apply. Transfers can be funded with Apple Pay, Google Pay, cards, or bank transfer.
