fun fact if it’s USD and the estimate is wrong you should be complaining about it and you’ve got a decent chance of a fee refund. US requires accurate estimates. Wise is supposed to give you a long estimate but they don’t because no one would use a service if it was honest about timing (which is more the American banking system’s fault but still). They’re big on transparency and usually mean it but here they don’t.
it’s still a long way from the early days of “book your transfer”
