Move USD to MXN at the real rate — not your bank’s spread

Wise is the multi-currency account most Americans use to fund their move to Mexico. Hold USD and MXN side by side, convert at the real mid-market rate, receive your TRV / PRV income from the U.S. with American routing details, and pay Mexican rent or consulate fees from the same app.

For Americans moving to Mexico, currency conversion is a significant ongoing cost. Sending $5,000 a month to fund retirement in San Miguel via a U.S. bank typically costs 3–5% in spread plus a flat fee — that’s $150–$250 a month vanishing into your bank’s margin. Wise eliminates that loss. Hold USD and MXN in the same account at the real mid-market rate, receive Social Security and pension income with U.S. routing details, and pay Mexican landlords, consulate fees, and INM appointment fees in pesos — all without your bank charging an FX spread.
