How this works: Cost calculations use approximate margins observed on real transfers in our six-month test (April 2026): Wise ~0.41%, Revolut Free 0.34% weekday / 1.32% weekend, Starling ~0.84%, big-4 high-street banks ~5.4%. The "rate" shown to you on a transfer is rarely the mid-market rate — the difference is the hidden margin. Real rates change weekly; verify before sending.
