The downside of international transfers with your bank
When you send or receive money using your bank, you might lose out on a bad exchange rate and pay hidden fees as a result. That’s because the banks still use an old system to exchange money. We recommend you use Wise (formerly TransferWise), which is usually much cheaper. With their smart technology:
- You get a great exchange rate and a low, upfront fee every time.
- You move your money as fast as the banks, and often faster – some currencies go through in minutes.
- Your money is protected with bank-level security.
- You join over 2 million customers who transfer in 47 currencies across 70 countries.

What is a Routing number?
A routing number may also be referred to as an ABA routing number, transit routing number or RTN.
Routing numbers are unique identifiers that indicate the bank where you opened your account. Routing numbers are also used to show that banks are federally or state chartered and have an account with the Federal Reserve.

Routing number example
The Routing Numbers are 9 digits long. Looking at one of your checks is the easiest way to find a routing number. Usually there are three distinct sets of numbers:
- The first, consisting of 9 digits, is probably your billing number.
- The second set of digits should be your account number; the length may vary from bank to bank.
- The third set of digits will be the control number in the general ledger.
Some banks list the account number and routing number in a different order than the checks, so check the numbers used if you are unsure.
