Banking with Wise - update

cyberescue1

For those who use Wise and have a Bulgarian UBB Account, transferring money between Wise and UBB just got a whole load better.

The last time I transferred money, it took a couple of days. However, I transferred money today and it arrived within 30 seconds.

Clearly UBB is now aligned with Wise. I've yet to try transferring to F I Bank and will update on that when I do.

Wise is really impressive, when it comes to speed of transfers to other banks and individuals. I've been with them now for nearly six years and have not had any complaints.

I use wise and bank with FIbank, transfers used to take days previous to the introduction of the Euro, now it arrives in an instant here too.

I'd guess it's not a Wise/UBB thing, it's a Bulgaria is now in the Eurozone thing.

It sounds as if the change to the Euro have been good for something!
