Airwallex vs. Wise

Airwallex is great for receiving payments from customers in other countries and where you make payments in other currencies.

Incentivized

Transferwise it is great for transferring money across countries (never for transfers within the same country) and when the countries in question use different currencies. It is very quick, especially if the amount is not big. For larger amounts, it would take longer so it would be good only if you are not time-constraint.

Incentivized

• Fast setup of bank accounts in different currencies.
• User management with roles and permissions that enable employees to use it.
• Fast easy setup of credit cards.
• Transferring money across currencies at low cost.

Incentivized

• Quick - because funds are transferred domestically, even when going international, you don't have to wait long.
• Easy - the printout of what information I needed to give the sending bank was complete and easy to understand.
• Affordable - the fees on both ends were minimal.

Incentivized

• Automated transaction failed emails
• Recurring credit card payments
• More fine grained credit card controls

Incentivized

• TransferWise (at the time of this review) does not allow one to transfer money to all kinds of business accounts. This can be a limitation for people who want to use it as a way to pay directly for goods and services.
• Sometimes it has problems with some credit cards. But the most popular types are accepted without problems.
• TransferWise accepts fewer currencies than other services. But it seems like this is a temporary problem, and the company is making efforts to support transferences to all of the currencies.

We haven't really had to engage with TransferWise support. The platform is simple and easy to use.

Payoneer was more expensive for transfers and it was less featured than Airwallex.

Incentivized

Apple Pay has high fees and hidden charges, not easy to use and it does not really support enterprises. It is also not regulated by MAS so we don't feel safe using it. Transferwise account was easy to set up (within minutes), the admin fee is low and the pricing is very transparent (no hidden fee). Lastly, we needed a platform which is safe to use and we are happy to know that Transferwise is regulated by the MAS of Singapore.

Incentivized
