Best service for international transfers from US to Brazil

mikehunter

Personally, I use Wise.  I like the fact that they use the current mid-market rate and they show you all their fees and then calculate the effective rate.  It's all very transparent.


Other services just give you the effective rate, so their fees are more or less hidden.


TLDR: What I found was that Wise was the clear winner.  Wise is the most transparent and provided instant transfers for the lowest price.  Remitly was very slightly less expensive, but only if you used 3 day transfer.  Even so,  the amount you save by using the 3-day method was negligible.


Here is what I found for a transfer of $1000 today (June 18th, 2023) @ 10:00 a.m EST:


Wise:

Mid Market Rate:  4.82215

Fees: $13.59

Effective Rate: 4.75662


Remitly:

Fees Instant: 4.99

Fees 3Day: 1.99

Instant Transfer Rate: 4.71

3 Day Transfer rate: 4.76


XE:

Effective Transfer Rate: 4.73980


Zoom (Paypal):

Effective Transfer Rate:  4.6228

So, my question is, can I use " WISE " to transfer money to my wife's account? She uses Nubank.
