The week's question
In December 2024, in the thread "Re: BRK: Why Not XOM?", BreckHutHigh asked the members: "What about the long road trips with kids?" This week it is put to everyone again. The button below opens the small thread re-asking it - read what others have said so far, then give your own answer as an ordinary reply.

Hello dtb -

Here is a thread on using WISE from the Living Abroad board: mungofitch replies on Best way to get USD into Wise?

This thread started in 2024. Fees were discussed, alternatives were brought up like Schwab (Rubic), Interactive Brokers (OrmontUS), and, a reduction in WISE fees for external US ACH transfers was mentioned in June 2025 (oddhack).

Here is a thread on using WISE from the Berkshire board: hummingbird replies on OT: WISE transfer funds

This thread started in 2023. WISE fees, processes, ease of use and, satisfaction (MisterFungi) are discussed. An alternative called Moneycorp is brought up (hummingbird). A podcast and podcast transcript breaking down the WISE business was posted (MostlyQuiet).

I love companies that take highly fractured and/or opaque markets and make them easy and cheap to use. I had totally forgotten about WISE until you brought it up. Thank you for the reminder :).

Quick question: are you thinking of buying WISE.L or the ADR WIZEY?
