I did a recent Xoom (owned by Paypal) vs Wise analysis recently. I couldn't believe just how bad Xoom's exchange rates are. This makes me think Paypal is just not competitive as a company. If they're this far behind Wise in cross border transfers, are they also this far behind other competitors in other payment areas?
