You can get USD account details for your personal or Wise Business account if your address is in a country where you can open a balance, and you created your Wise account after 1 January 2024.

Business account restrictions
If your business’s trading address is in an unavailable country above, or China or Nigeria — you won't be able to get account details, even if the business itself is registered in an eligible country. A trading address is the physical location where you usually work every day.
If your business is registered in the US, UK, Australia or Germany you can only get new USD details if you created your Wise account after 1st January 2024.
If your business is registered in France, Canada, the Netherlands, Italy, Portugal, Spain or Brazil you can only get new USD details if you created your Wise account after 7th October 2024.
Canadian driver's licence
We can't verify you with a Canadian driver's licence at this time. We'll need to verify you with a passport or national ID instead.
When can I get USD account details?
If you're using Wise Business, you can join our waitlist when trying to sign up for USD account details. We'll let you know as soon as USD account details are available in your region.
You can still receive USD by international Swift payment to your GBP account details.
Why is Wise making changes to its services?
Our priority at Wise is to offer the best experience possible for our customers. To do this, there are times when we have to make changes to our operations.
Because of this, we may ask you to update your information, or to verify details about yourself or your business. This is important for both our operations and to keep our services running smoothly for you.
Why am I being asked for more verification details?
We know you provide information to us when you join Wise, but sometimes we need to ask for up-to-date info about your identity.
We may ask for this to comply with our regulatory requirements. If you receive an email from us about this, just follow the instructions to continue using your Wise account as normal.
Why can I no longer access my USD account details?
From time to time, Wise and our providers may update the lists of countries we support. Unfortunately, this means we may no longer be able to support some of our products or features in the region you or your business are located.
We’re always working on making all features of the Wise account available to more people and businesses.
