Your international clients can send money to your Indian business using your account details with Wise.

What are account details?

These are your very own account details to receive money in EUR, GBP, USD, AUD, CAD, NZD, SGD and HUF. It isn’t a bank account, but the details work the same way when receiving money. Just share your account name and details to your clients, so they can send you the amount from their bank account, or using Wise.
