Wise Wise Business Account Tools Flashcards

A growing e-commerce company needs to pay 50 international freelancers at the end of each month. Manually processing each payment is time-consuming and prone to errors. Which Wise Business tool is specifically designed to streamline this process?

Answer: Batch Payments tool

The Batch Payments tool allows a business to upload a single file (like a .CSV) containing the details of up to 1,000 recipients and pay them all in one go, making it the ideal solution for mass payouts to freelancers or suppliers.

A business owner wants to give their sales team members the ability to pay for travel and client dinners, but needs to maintain strict control over their spending. Which feature within the Wise Business account directly addresses this need?

Answer: Issuing employee expense cards with customizable spending limits and permissions.

Wise Business allows account owners (Admins) to issue physical and digital expense cards to team members. The owner can set specific daily or monthly spending limits for each card and control permissions, such as ATM withdrawals, ensuring they stay in control of company funds.

A company's finance department wants to reduce manual data entry and ensure that all international transactions made through their Wise Business account are accurately reflected in their accounting records. Which of the following Wise Business features facilitates this?

Answer: Integration with accounting software like Xero and QuickBooks.

Wise Business offers direct integration with popular accounting software such as Xero, QuickBooks, and others. This allows for the automatic synchronization of transactions and bank feeds, which significantly reduces manual data entry and simplifies the reconciliation process.

A tech startup wants to build a custom application that programmatically triggers payments to its global suppliers directly from its own internal dashboard. Which Wise Business tool would enable this level of custom automation?

Answer: The Wise API.

The Wise API (Application Programming Interface) is designed for businesses that want to build custom integrations. It allows them to automate payments, track exchange rates, and manage finances directly from their own software or business tools without needing to use the Wise web or app interface for every transaction.

A business administrator is setting up a new team member in the Wise Business account. They want the employee to be able to prepare payments for approval, but not to authorize the final sending of funds. Which tool allows for this specific division of duties?

Answer: Multi-user access with customizable permissions.

The multi-user access feature allows an account owner to invite team members and assign them specific roles and permissions. This includes the ability to set up payments that require approval from another user (like an Admin or a designated approver) before the money is sent, providing a crucial layer of financial control.

A marketing agency uses their Wise Business account to manage client project funds separately. They want to issue a debit card to a project manager that can ONLY be used to spend money allocated for a specific project's budget. How can this be achieved?

Answer: By restricting the card to only spend from a specific 'Group'.

The 'Groups' feature in Wise Business allows an admin to create separate budgets or pots of money within the main account. Team members can be assigned to a group, and their expense cards can be restricted to only draw funds from that specific group, preventing them from accessing the main account balance or funds for other projects.
