Transferring Funds with Wise & Smarter Strategies for Expats

In this episode of Money Side Up, we’re diving deep into one of the most common challenges faced by Australians living abroad - transferring money across borders. But that's not all - we're also unpacking the outlook for interest rates in Australia, and the impact of Trump's One Big Beautiful Bill on Australian expats across the globe.

Joining hosts Jarrad Brown and Will Cant is special guest Alex Lombardo from Wise, who shares expert insights into what makes Wise different from traditional banks, how their platform keeps costs low, and why it’s become a go-to solution for Australian expats.

From hidden fees to multi-currency accounts, to scenarios of being paid your salary directly to your FX account, we cover it all.

We also explore:

The biggest mistakes expats make when transferring money internationally
How to manage income, expenses, and investments across multiple currencies
The future of cross-border banking and payments

Whether you're living in Singapore, Dubai, the UK, or anywhere else abroad, this episode is packed with value for globally-minded Australians looking to make smarter money moves.
