Does Wise use mid-market rate for USD to INR

Yes, Wise uses the mid-market rate for USD to INR conversions, which is the real exchange rate you see on Google or Reuters with no markup. However, Wise adds a transparent service fee on top, typically ranging from 0.5% to 1.5% depending on the currency pair and transfer method. While this is more competitive than traditional banks, it's worth checking the Wise pricing structure against alternatives before committing to a transfer.
