How to switch

1. Go to the RemitRoutes comparison tool, enter your send corridor and amount, and see which provider is cheapest today. No account required.

2. If a digital asset rail appears cheaper, you will need an on-ramp exchange account (Coinbase, Kraken, or Gemini for USD; corridor-specific exchanges for other currencies). KYC setup takes 10–15 minutes. First transfer is same-day.

3. You don't need to close your Wise account. Many senders keep it as a backup and use RemitRoutes to decide transfer-by-transfer which provider is cheapest.

Frequently asked questions

Do I need to close my Wise account to switch?

No. Your Wise account remains open at no cost. Many senders keep Wise as a backup and use RemitRoutes to decide per-transfer which provider is cheapest — sometimes that's still Wise.

How long does it take to set up a digital asset rail account?

The on-ramp exchange (Coinbase, Kraken, or Gemini) takes 10–15 minutes to sign up with photo ID. KYC verification is usually instant. Your first transfer can happen the same day.

Can I use RemitRoutes for the same corridors as Wise?

Yes. RemitRoutes covers every major Wise corridor — USD, EUR, GBP, AED, SAR to India, Nigeria, Philippines, Mexico, and more. When Wise is the cheapest option, we'll tell you.

Will I lose my Wise transfer history?

No. Your Wise transfer history stays in your Wise account permanently. Switching providers for future transfers doesn't affect past transaction records.
