What are the pros and cons of using Wise for transferring money to Thailand compared to bank transfers?

Gary *******

Wise says it's taking 5 days for them to receive my money but it's debited from my account the next day. I've done seven transfers this month all the same. So I tried OFX and same 5 days. Not sure what's going on

This month Wise is 5 days for transfers from my US bank. Ive done 7 transfers. Used to be less than 30 seconds. Tried OFX and it was the same 5 days. Exchange rate was slightly better with Wise with fees better with OFX. Ends up about the same..

Why is my ACH transfer using Wise taking longer than expected?

Gary *******

I just got an email saying Wise transferred it. Check my bank and it's there. So set it up Tues and received Friday night. I checked a pending transfer set up Thursday and Wise says delivery on Wed 4:00am.

Money already deducted from US bank. Very weird. Time to look for new service.
