Bangladeshi freelancers lose significant money on every international payment through banks. Wire fees of $25-50 per transaction, exchange rate markups of 2-4%, and 3-5 day waiting periods. That's money earned but never fully received. Wise uses the real mid-market exchange rate with transparent fees of just 0.4-1%. Transfers arrive in 1-2 days. Over 16 million people worldwide trust Wise for international money transfers.
