We added TransferWise as new payment method but it seems it has not developed yet its full potential as a payment method which interconnects global markets.

Here a quick overview why I think that TransferWise is one of the best payment methods and very accessible to most people (Excluding US - but we will add a US only TransferWise payment method soon).

- Bisq does not require account signing so **you can buy Bitcoin up to 0.25 BTC** per trade
- Account opening is relative fast and pain-free
- You get access to a global market
- You can send from nearly any currency to the receiver currency
- You can receive funds either with all the currencies where they support local accounts (AUD, EUR, GBP, NZD, RON, SGD) as well from any where you have a bank account (linked account)
- One can set up local accounts (It is like you get a free sub-account at the global TransferWise bank accounts). This has the benefit to get **instant transfer** and those bank accounts can also be used as SEPA or national bank account. How to set those up is more complicate as it should be, but the [wiki [1]](https://bisq.wiki/TransferWise) gives a good overview how to do it.
- Conversion rates are pretty good, close to the exchange rate you see on Google
- Transfer fees are pretty low as well

Please read up the [wiki [1]](https://bisq.wiki/TransferWise) for a more detailed overview.

It’s a breach of TransferWise terms:  
`Unsupported businesses and transactions`
