Bangladeshi freelancers lose significant money on international payment fees. Banks charge 3-8% spread, PayPal takes 4-5% on conversions, and wire transfer fees eat into small payments. Wise offers mid-market rates with transparent fees — but most users only scratch the surface of what Wise can do.
