With all due respect, are you sure you're doing it right? The entire raison d'etre of Transferwise is cutting their bank-run international wire transfers out of the loop.

That's how they work everywhere except the US. For us, we have to do a BIC/IBAN transfer to an account in Estonia. (Just re-checked the instructions they mailed me yesterday to verify that's the case.)

If they had a US account you could do with ACH, life would be easy. But they don't.
