I am in the process of selling an apartment I have a Wise Euro Account an attached to it is a Wise UK Account.When it comes to completion do I provide them with Euro Account to transfer funds to or the Wise UK account.Then I will move it from Wise to UK bank Account.I can only think the Wise UK account is what I used for the transfer to buy apartment.How do I transfer from either accounts only ever transferred from euro to pay taxes & always topped it up with Debit card.Any info much appreciated.

Do you not have a Spanish bank account to pay it into? The reason I ask is that Wise is not covered by the FSCS (Compensation scheme should finance provider go bust). If you have a Spanish bank account my advice would be to pay it into there, and then transfer the money to Wise in Tranches of say 10,000 euros.  I use Wise myself regularly and although they are classed as safe, I would be wary of giving them such a large sum in one go.

Hope this helps.

Hi Jan, you will get a better exchange rate (although very low at the moment ) and tranferwise/wise have been trading for many years and I really cannot see them going belly up 🙂

I am sure if there were any problems with the company the financial markets would be aware and there would be signs.

Rates may increase after the chancellor financial statement
