How to transfer money from India to UK using Wise
To transfer money from India to the UK using Wise, create an account on Wise's platform, verify your identity, enter the recipient's UK bank details, specify the amount in INR or GBP, and choose your payment method (bank transfer, debit card, or UPI). Wise uses the mid-market exchange rate and charges a transparent fee that varies by amount and payment method, typically ranging from 0.5% to 1.5%. The transfer usually completes within 1 to 2 business days, though timing depends on the payment method chosen.
If you're an Indian exporter or freelancer receiving payments rather than sending them, Wise pricing may prompt you to explore alternatives like Skydo, an RBI-authorised platform designed specifically for cross-border collections. Skydo offers competitive rates, faster processing, and dedicated support for business use cases, making it a strong option for professionals handling international transactions regularly.
