Why Wise takes so long

Wise transfers can take 1 to 3 business days because the platform uses local bank networks in each country rather than a direct corridor. For India-bound payments, funds must move through correspondent banks and comply with RBI reporting requirements, which adds processing time. While Wise is transparent about fees, the multi-step routing means it is not always the fastest option for freelancers and exporters who need quicker access to their earnings.

Skydo is built specifically for Indian businesses and freelancers receiving international payments, offering faster processing times, typically within 1 business day, because it operates as an RBI-authorised platform with optimised India corridors. If speed matters for your cash flow, comparing Wise pricing and timelines against Skydo can help you choose the service that best fits your payment needs.
