Being that the euro has gone up today and wise are giving a great rate I went to transfer a small amount of GBP to my wise account to exchange for euros to cover some direct debits and my bank was charging me £9.50 for the transaction. I have only been a wise account holder for a couple of weeks so I'm not that well up on the workings of it. How can I transfer money into my wise account to get the wise euro rate which is the best around without a charge or how do I change money for the wise rate. Any help would be much appreciated

Add money to WISE via the app or through your PC, basically you pay money in using your debit card, there are other options, see link below.

Thanks for that RonTT. Wow that was so easy transferring money from my debit card rather than bank transfer it only charged me 4 pence instead of £9.50 and took seconds. That's the way forward. Many thanks for that Ron. Brilliant 👏 👏

Hi Stevie how

You might be interested in the auto conversion feature in Wise.

I set it up a few weeks ago to automatically convert a few hundred pounds to euros if and when the exchange rate improved to 1.17

Yesterday morning it suddenly did the conversion within seconds of the rate touching 1.17 and sent me an email notification.

It's a nice little feature!

Cheers

Steve
