Whenever you send money to someone, we’ll save their recipient details automatically. But you can also add their details ahead of time. You can also delete them if they’re no longer needed.
How to add a new recipient
Go to Recipients
Select Add a recipient
Select the currency of the recipient's bank account
Select their bank details, or search for Wise users
If you’re adding your own account, select Myself after selecting Enter bank details
If you’re adding someone else’s account, select Someone else — Find your friend using their email address to make this easier, or simply fill in their details
Select Confirm to save your recipient
If you're paying for your transfer with USD, you'll need to add your recipient's residential or business address due to US regulations.
How to delete a recipient

Can I edit an existing recipient?
Once you’ve saved a recipient, you can’t edit their account details, but you can add a nickname for them.
If you need to make a change to their account information, you’ll need to delete them as a recipient and add them again.
Your recipients are displayed in a list with a brief summary of their account details and their nickname if applicable. Click on a recipient to view their full details and account settings.
How can I set a nickname for a recipient?
You can add a nickname to your recipients to help stay organised while using Wise. We'll always use the full account holder name for any transactions — the nickname is just for your own reference.
To set a nickname:
