Wise Launches in Mexico: Transforming International Money Transfers
We're thrilled to announce that Wise has officially launched in Mexico, revolutionizing the traditional landscape of international money transfers. With this new service, Mexican nationals can now enjoy a transparent, fast, and seamless experience when sending money internationally.
A New Era for Money Transfers in Mexico
Our entry into the Mexican market marks a pivotal moment in our goal to enhance cross-border payments. Mexican nationals can now send money to over 40 currencies and 160 countries with ease, using a fully digital process through the Wise app or website.
Mexico offers an unique opportunity to serve a large and growing market with high demand for quality financial services. In 2024 alone, consumers moved approximately $168 billion USD in and out of the country, and this figure is expected to grow, potentially doubling by 2028.
Addressing Transparency Issues
Beyond offering a more convenient and affordable way to move money across borders, Wise is committed to tackling one of Mexico's biggest challenges: the lack of transparency in international payments. In 2024, Mexicans lost $446 million USD in hidden fees when sending money abroad. These hidden costs are often buried in fine print or bundled with other charges, making them difficult to detect.
When it comes to sending money internationally, banks and other providers in Mexico can conceal up to 10.4% of the costs in hidden fees, which significantly inflate transfer costs and undermine market competitiveness. Unfortunately, this trend is projected to continue, with losses nearing $514 million USD in 2025.
Easily Send Money From Mexico
Starting today, this service is available to all Mexican nationals and can be accessed via the Wise app on Android and iOS, or through our website. Experience the future of international money transfers with Wise, where transparency, speed, and convenience come together.
