I used tranferwise. Once they get to see you using them consistently, you'll see that it's not as good anymore. Like anything, pay attention. If I recall, with me the exchange rate was terrible.

Yeah, I have seen that with other remittance companies. They give low fees and great FX rate at first to acquire you as a customer than increase the rates hoping you won't notice or that you don't want to spend the extra time to create a new account somewhere else.
