Wise & ebankIT: best partnership for international money transfers

Wise Platform is the first international money transfer service to be available on the ebankIT Platform marketplace, which is used by banks and financial institutions worldwide to build their digital banking services. This means ebankIT’s clients can quickly and conveniently use Wise Platform’s international money transfer service, without needing to integrate it separately themselves.

Across 11 countries, financial institutions use ebankIT solution, meaning that millions of their customers and members could benefit from faster, cheaper international money transfers. ebankIT Omnichannel Digital Banking Platform accelerates digital transformation and improves member/customer experience, enabling a 360º vision following a customer-centric perspective and providing a truly connected and safe experience.

Wise Platform is live with 12 distribution partners, as well as 18 banks across 11 countries and seven enterprises. International money transfers with Wise are, on average, up to eight times cheaper than traditional providers. Unlike most banks and brokers, Wise does not charge hidden fees via an exchange rate mark-up or any other method. What’s more, 40% of all Wise transfers are delivered instantly (under 20 seconds).

Steve Naudé, Head of Product, Wise Platform, said:
“For too long, international transfers have been slow, inconvenient, and blighted by traditional providers charging high, hidden fees. It’s time for change. We aim to set a new global standard for international transfers across the industry. We’re thrilled to be working with ebankIT, a company that shares our vision. Together, along with ebankIT’s network of banks and financial institutions, we can help drag international transfers into the twenty-first century.”
