How to use Wise to receive money in Euros and transfer to your local currency and save on exchange

Save Money on Currency Exchange with Wise

Tired of your bank’s outrageous foreign currency fees? Learn how Wise gives you access to the elusive mid-market exchange rate banks keep for themselves. I’ll explain how to set up your own European bank account and move money internationally while keeping more cash in your pocket.

Hi there everyone on YouTube! This is Geoff from geoffmobile.com

Today I’m back with another video talking about some interesting ways to save money when receiving money in different currencies using the Wise app and Wise website.

Wise.com (formerly TransferWise) excels at international money transfers and handling different currencies. I’ll explain how you can receive money from companies via direct deposit in a foreign currency and transfer it to your local bank with minimal fees.

Let’s use this example: receiving euros in a European bank and transferring that money to a Canadian bank cheaply.

When selling European stocks or options in euros, you’d typically provide your Canadian bank account for the deposit. The problem? Canadian banks like BMO, RBC, and Scotia charge hefty markups when converting foreign currencies.

What makes Wise special is they offer the mid-market exchange rate – essentially the same rate you see quoted on currency exchange websites. This rate is significantly better than what traditional banks offer. While companies and big banks use the mid-market rate, Wise is one of the few services giving consumers access to it.

Instead of giving the paying company your Canadian bank details, you can provide them with a European bank account number connected to Wise. When paid in euros, the money goes to this account and appears in your Wise app as a euro balance. You can then easily convert it to Canadian dollars.

In my previous video (linked below), I explained how Canadians can connect Wise to Tangerine to pull money from Wise into your Tangerine account for free. Alternatively, you can pay about $2 CAD for Wise to send an e-transfer to any Canadian bank for faster access.

How to use physical Wise Card in Canada for tap and pay and how to get free Wise transfers in Canada

To use Wise for receiving money in different currencies:
1. Create a Wise account (use my referral link in the description for your first free transfer)
2. Click “get account details” and choose your desired currency
3. For a European bank account, select “get European bank/Euro bank account details”
4. After a day or two, you’ll receive proper banking details (mine is from a bank in Brussels)
5. Provide these details to the company paying you
6. When they transfer the money, it appears in your Wise app
7. Convert to your local currency and withdraw to your regular bank

This method can save hundreds of dollars on fees when transferring large amounts. In my next video, I’ll explain how to send or spend money using Wise, including using the physical Wise card for payments in different countries. This card works for chip insertion and tap-to-pay in Canada.

Wise is especially handy for travelers or anyone paying for items in foreign currencies. For example, I use my Wise card information to pay for Japanese toothpaste from Amazon Japan in yen, getting the mid-market rate instead of a huge currency exchange fee. Similarly, Canadians can use it when ordering from the US and paying in USD.

Take on Me by a-ha Lyrics (1984)

We’re talking away
I don’t know what I’m to say
I’ll say it anyway
Today is another day to find you
Shyin’ away
Oh, I’ll be comin’ for your love, okay
Take on me
(Take on me)
Take me on
(Take on me)
I’ll be gone
In a day or two

So needless to say
I’m odds and ends
But I’ll be stumblin’ away
Slowly learnin’ that life is okay
Say after me
It’s no better to be safe than sorry
Take on me
(Take on me)
Take me on
(Take on me)
I’ll be gone
In a day or two

All the things that you say, yeah
Is it life or just to play my worries away?
You’re all the things I’ve got to remember
You’re shyin’ away
I’ll be comin’ for you anyway
Take on me
(Take on me)
Take me on
(Take on me)
I’ll be gone
In a day
(Take on me)
(Take on me)
(Take me on)
(Take on me)
I’ll be gone
(Take on me)
In a day

Lyrics:
Are we really happy here
With this lonely game we play?
Looking for words to say
Searching but not finding understanding anywhere
We’re lost in a masquerade
Both afraid to say we’re just too far away
From being close together from the start
We tried to talk it over but the words got in the way
We’re lost inside this lonely game we play
Thoughts of leaving disappear
Every time I see your eyes
No matter how hard I try
To understand the reasons that we carry on this way
We’re lost in a masquerade
