Bank Transfer via Wise: Offers a direct integration to deposit local currencies (e.g. RON, BGN, MYR, IDR). You will send a local currency to a Wise bank account and Wise will convert and deposit to your account a currency supported by us. The list of local currencies depends on the entity where you have your account.
You will be presented with the Quote screen. The Source Currency will populate with the local currency you selected above, and you will need to choose a Target Currency to be deposited into your account (e.g. USD, EUR). You can modify the quantity of the Source Currency to see the applicable fees, the conversion rate, the amount of the Target Currency that will arrive in your account and the expected arrival time. Once confirmed, you will be given the Wise bank account details and instructions to send the funds.

Transfer from Wise Balance: You can see the balances in your multi-currency account at Wise and you can initiate a funds transfer into your account. You can either transfer the funds you hold at Wise without any conversion when the currency is supported in your account OR you can choose to convert your funds at Wise and transfer a supported currency (e.g. EUR, USD, GBP, AUD, HUF, CHF, SGD (not supported for IBIE and IBCE) or NZD (not supported for IBIE, IBCE and IBSG)) to your account.
Note: Funds take from a few hours to a full business day to appear in your Wise account after leaving your account, depending on the currency.
