If the Contacts on Wise feature is enabled, other people who know you can sync their contacts and you’ll show up in their Recipients.
They can also send money with only your email address. This is possible for both personal and business accounts.
If Contacts on Wise is enabled, we’ll find a match to your Wise account — just make sure you have a balance to receive money into first
This is only possible for personal account holders.
How to control the feature in your account
On either web or app:
Go on your profile name in the top corner
Go to Settings
Go to Privacy and security
Select Find me by
Use the toggle options to choose how you’d like to be found
You can remove yourself as a recipient if you don't want to be found.
What do we do with the information from your phone’s contacts?
We never send or store your full phone’s contacts on our servers. We also never get in touch with your contacts. We only use this information to make it easier to send money between you and your friends.
Bear in mind that when you switch the feature on, any Wise customer with your phone number or email address will see your account name and photo on their app but rest assured that they will not be able to see any of your account numbers.
