Best ways to send money to Germany with WISE
The best way to send British pound to Euro is from a Wise balance. It’s cheapest and usually arrives in seconds. Bank transfers are also cheap, but can be slower.

If you have a Wise multi-currency account, you can use money in your account to fund your transfer. It’s cheap and fast — just set up your money transfer as you normally would, and choose a Wise account transfer when paying.
PISP (Payment Initiation Service Provider) payments are instructions you give Wise to make a bank transfer directly from your bank account — without having to leave our app and log in to your online banking. This option is as cheap as a manual bank transfer, but it isn’t supported by all banks yet.
Bank transfers are usually the cheapest option when it comes to funding your international money transfer with Wise. Bank transfers can be slower than debit or credit cards, but they usually give you the best value for your money. Read more how to use bank transfers as a payment option.
Using Swift to fund your transfer usually means that your transfer will take longer and be more expensive, as your bank will charge a fee. You should also bear in mind that other correspondent banks in between may also deduct their handling fees. Your bank should be able to advise on those fees.
