Wise Multi-Currency Account Features Questions and Answers 1

Question 1

A Wise user wants to receive payments from clients in both the United States (USD) and the United Kingdom (GBP) directly into their multi-currency account without incurring receiving fees for domestic transfers. Which feature of the Wise account makes this possible?

Accepted Answer

Local account details for different currencies like USD and GBP.

Answer

Wise provides local account details (e.g., a US routing number and a UK sort code) for several currencies. This allows users to receive domestic bank transfers in those currencies for free, as if they had a local bank account in that country.

Question 2

A customer is using their Wise card to make a purchase in Euros but does not have a sufficient EUR balance. However, they have balances in USD, GBP, and JPY. How will Wise handle this transaction?

Accepted Answer

It will automatically convert the required amount from the balance that has the lowest conversion fee.

Answer

Wise uses a 'Smart Conversion' technology. If you don't have the currency you're spending in, it automatically converts the necessary amount from the currency balance that offers the lowest conversion fee at that moment.

Question 3

Which of the following is a key benefit of the Wise multi-currency account for an online business that sells globally?

Accepted Answer

It allows the business to get local bank details for multiple countries, simplifying payments from international customers.

This enables international customers to pay in their local currency via a domestic transfer, which is often faster and cheaper for them, making the business more accessible to a global market.
