Re: Best way to get USD into Wise?

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.

I have a Wise account, but rarely use it. Doing an ACH pull
with the 0.28% fee for small amounts seems to work fine.

For larger amounts (and what I do 2-3 times per year) is
international wire transfers from my Schwab account to my
Portuguese bank. It's nominally a flat $15 fee, therefore
it works out so anything above $5000 is better through Schwab.

I usually get the $15 fee waived when I request the wire
transfer, but it's not a big deal either way.
