In case you don’t speak Bankese, we’ve translated it for you.

Because knowing how much it really costs to send money abroad shouldn’t require a duolingo course.

Under CBPR2, banks finally have to be transparent about what they’re charging you for your transfers.

But look at the markup on @NatWestGroup's exchange rate. And look at how it grew during the pandemic. 🤷‍♀️🤷‍♂️

See your bank doing the same? Use #banksaresneaky and call them out!

1/6 So much chatter this week about "mission-driven" companies (👀 @coinbase). I wrote a blog a while back about why the @TransferWise mission (making money move instantly, conveniently, and for free) is necessary in the first place. I called it "the problem of free checking".

[James Bell @james_bell]

@LloydsBank my logon details are suspended at the moment and given a U.K. number to call. I’m currently abroad though. Is there any way to resolve the problem over email?

[Kristo Käärmann @kaarmann]

🤯 Wait, what?

It's one thing when the banks don't respect the EU fee disclosure laws.

But when Natwest silently hikes their hidden fees 2x during the pandemic we can't turn the other cheek.

@XboxP3 what’s your thoughts on an android tv stick for playing xcloud?

Earnings coming in from one currency, but you have costs in another?

We know the pain – high fees, inflated exchange rates...

@AlternativeAir saved £75 000 in 9 months, just by ditching their high-street bank and switching to TransferWise. 🤯 Here’s how:

Realtime notification on credit searches from @creditkarma is nice! Not seen anyone do that before

[Wise @Wise]

TransferWise + North Loop = a no brainer, really.

We’ve joined forces with @NorthLoopBank, so their student and migrant customers can make the most of our cheaper, faster transfers to 80 countries and 54 currencies. ⚡🌎

All of this straight from their banking app.

@tomcdav @monzo Well done @tomcdav (and the hundreds of others)!

[James Bell @james_bell]

No flair for Plus @monzo 😱. I wanted to collect them all!

[Wise @Wise]

Multi-user access is one of our all-time most requested features.

And it's *here*. So we’re very happy that your team can get down to business, together. 🚀
