How Wise Delivers to India
Wise भारत में पैसे कैसे पहुंचाता है
Wise has local accounts in India, so it settles directly inside India's payment system. You only need:
- Recipient's account number.
- Recipient's IFSC code (11 characters, e.g.,
SBIN0001234). Look it up free here. - Recipient's full name — exactly as on the account.
No SWIFT code is needed — Wise handles the international leg internally.

Wise vs Banks: Why Wise Costs Less
Wise बनाम बैंक: Wise कम खर्च क्यों करता है
A US bank wire charges $25–$45 plus a 1%–3% exchange-rate markup. On $1,000 that can be $40+ in hidden costs. Wise charges $4–$8 total with the true mid-market rate — because it uses local settlement instead of the SWIFT chain.
