I received a Wise email, probably other Wise users received the same email.

57% of transfers are received under 20 seconds.

I got that one too, Bob. Their service works well, although the last couple of times I was surprised to see that their exchange rate was not quite as good as before, I suspect that all these technology investments they have been making need to be paid for.

I have wise... I'm primarily in Iloilo when I'm there. Idk how it's more convenient considering places to get the cash... Getting money from the ATM at Landbank from my Wells Fargo account was better rate than sending myself or my wife money through WU

I received this email too.

I can vouch for these implied improvements of the service. the usual transfers from US account to Philippine account typically takes 36 hours.

I received a notification that the transfer i am typically expecting on the 1st of the month (in this case Aug 1st), was made successfully within 24 hours. Great!
