A Simpler Way to Move Your Money: SmileTax Partners with Wise
We’re pleased to share something new that may make life a little easier for many of our clients.
SmileTax has partnered with Wise—a trusted platform for international money movement. If you live or work abroad, or manage income across borders, this could be a helpful tool.
Wise is used by over 16 million people and moves more than £10 billion each month. They’re regulated globally and offer a transparent, straightforward alternative to traditional banks when it comes to currency exchange and international transfers.
Why This Matters
Many of our clients transfer money between countries—for personal expenses, property purchases, tuition, or income earned in a different currency.
And many have asked us “what’s the best way to transfer money internationally?”
Here at SmileTax, many of our team are expats and they use Wise for their cross border transactions
What a Wise Account Lets You Do
Here’s a quick summary of what you can do with a Wise account:
- Send money internationally at the real mid-market exchange rate (no hidden markups)
- Hold money in 40+ currencies without converting unless you want to
- Receive money like a local, using personal account details in 9 currencies including USD, GBP, and EUR
For clients who get paid in one currency, live in another, and still maintain U.S. financial commitments, Wise helps reduce the friction—and the fees.
Helpful for Large Transfers
If you’re buying property abroad, receiving inheritance, or transferring large amounts of money from the U.S. or elsewhere, Wise can help simplify the process.
You may need to provide a few extra documents (such as ID or proof of funds), but the process is transparent and clearly guided.
Getting Started
You can open a Wise account online in just a few minutes.
We’ve set up a partner link here:
👉 https://wi.se/smile-tax
Using that link means your first transfer is free (up to £1,000 or equivalent). It also helps Wise know you came through SmileTax.
Looking Ahead
We’ve partnered with Wise because we believe it’s a practical, trustworthy option for many of our clients living and working abroad.
Whether you’re managing income across currencies or planning a larger transfer, it’s worth considering a tool that offers more control—and fewer surprises.
We’ll continue to share tools and partnerships like this when we think they could genuinely make a difference.
