What is the Wise Business Account?
The Wise Business Account is a multi-currency account for businesses to receive money like a local in six currencies, hold and convert 50+ currencies, and send money abroad. Wise always uses the real rate to convert, and any fees are upfront and transparent.
You’ll get bank details for USD, EUR, GBP, AUD, NZN, and PLN to receive money via your FareHarbor dashboard or bank transfer.
And with your own debit Mastercard®, you can spend in the local currency — anywhere that accepts Mastercard.
How to create an account
To open your multi-currency account:
- Register for free — to sign up for your Wise for Business account.
- Tell us about your business — let us know details like your business registration, where you’re located, the industry you’re in, any online or social presence, and details about all legal business owners and directors.
- Tell us about yourself — fill in your personal details and role in the business. If you’re not the director or owner of the company, you may need to include additional information.
- Get verified — Usually with photo ID, proof of address, and/or a picture of you holding your ID. Our team will be in touch if they need more info.
- That’s it! We’ll send you a confirmation email when we’ve verified your business. This could take 4–7 working days, so hold tight. We’ll try our best to speed things up.
To open a currency balance, you’ll need to:
- Go to the Balances tab on your Wise account on the computer, or the Activity tab in the app. You’ll need to add some money and verify your identity first to keep your account safe.
- Choose which currencies you’d like to hold money in by clicking Open a balance.
Add your account to your FareHarbor dashboard]
You can link your Wise account to your FareHarbor Dashboard to receive money. However, it will only work with some balances.
You can link your EUR, GBP, USD, AUD, NZD and PLN balances with the FareHarbor Dashboard.
