| rates for way cheaper than my Canadian bank too. I confronted my
| major bank in person and they won't match their rates or even
| come close. I can transfer money from WISE to my Canadian bank
| for $0.66 and it takes like a day or less with 2 clicks. I also
| get a USD based credit card for free I can use and not get
| screwed on fees by conversion or my Canadian bank. Big fan here
| so far!

| Interview experience was great too :)
