Amazingly enough, businesses change and sometimes they get better. Earlier this
month I used Wise to send US$3700/C$5000 to a bank account in Canada, deposited
the same day into the recipient's account, no burps or anything.  I have also
used it to send money to my bank accounta in the UK and France, equally easy.

If this is a topic you care about, how about spending a few minutes seeing what
the situation actually is?
