Question 2

When a client sends you a SWIFT wire in USD to your Wise account details, who typically pays the SWIFT intermediary fees?

Accepted Answer

The sender's bank deducts them from the transfer amount

Answer

SWIFT intermediary bank fees are usually deducted from the transfer amount by the sending or intermediary bank, reducing what you receive.

Wise does not offer local account details for VES; it supports major currencies like GBP, EUR, USD, AUD, and others.

Question 4

Accepted Answer

In EUR in your Wise EUR balance

Funds received in EUR are credited to your EUR balance and remain in EUR until you choose to convert or send them.

Question 5

What is the main advantage of sharing your Wise local account details instead of your personal bank's SWIFT/BIC details?
