Peter is absolutely bullshitting you. Ridiculous. You can obviously take a train or a bus, or a car, or your bike across the border.

Every time you exit the country you are stamped out. And every time you enter you are stamped in

yes, always send in home currency. I verify regularly and the gap has indeed narrowed. But at no point in the last 7 years has Swift not been more expensive than Wise.

swift, like Wise is 100% reliable. But yes, that 1% can really screw it up.

The low costs and better exchange rates with Wise are the difference maker. Next time you consider a Swift transaction, get the exact amount that will arrive at your destination account and then run a quick comparable with Wise. It will likely be your last ever Swift transaction

swift works just as well as Wise, but only use it if you hate your own money.

If anything goes wrong with Wise, it’s 99% user error

Swift rate is never cheaper when you factor in the currency exchange
