Tips for saving money on international transfers

Wise has also shared two practical tips for Singaporeans looking to save money when sending or spending money internationally:

1. Check the fees and exchange rates: Many traditional money transfer providers don’t use the favourable mid-market exchange rate, which can result in customers paying more due to hidden fees.  To avoid this, Wise recommends using a multi-currency provider that offers a mid-market rate with a transparent, low upfront conversion fee.
2. Pay in the local currency: When shopping internationally, avoid dynamic currency conversion charges by paying in the local currency rather than your home currency (SGD). /TISG
