How do I add money to a balance?

There are a couple of different ways you can add money to your Wise balances.

Adding money through Wise

1. Click Add money from the home page or click on a balance/Jar and click Add

2. Choose how much you want to add and the currency you’d like to pay with.

3. Select how you’d like to pay, and click Continue to payment.

4. Depending on how you’d like to pay, you’ll be guided through the payment steps.

We'll show you how much it'll cost to add and convert money before you complete your transfer. The price depends on the payment method you choose and the currencies you're converting between.

Note: the money has to come from a bank account that matches the name on your Wise account. So, if you have a Wise account for your business, the bank account you add money from has to be under the business name. 

Sending money from your bank account to your Wise account

You can also add money to your balance via a direct deposit/bank transfer. You can only do this if your currency account has account details. This way, you don't need to set up a top-up in your Wise account first.

Just log in to your online banking, set up a normal transfer and add your account details that you can find in your Wise account. To reveal the account details of your balance, click on the balance you’d like to send to.

You’ll also have to make sure you send the same currency that your balance is in. So, if you’re adding to your EUR account this way, you’ll need to send money in EUR. 

What can I do with my money once it's on my balance?

Once you have money in your balance, you can:

• send money to recipients

• spend with your Wise card

• convert between currencies

• and eligible customers can hold money as Interest or Stocks.
