Registration, Opening an Account in TransferWise and Verification

When registering a business account, TransferWise will require you to:

  • Provide company details, including business registration data, location, industry, etc. You must also indicate the full names, birth dates, and countries of residence of all owners and directors of the company.
  • Provide personal details of the business profile owner, including their position in the company. If the person is not a director or shareholder, additional information and documents may be required.

Types of Accounts in TransferWise

TransferWise accounts can be registered remotely. Two types of accounts are available: personal and business. For business accounts, the company always conducts a full compliance check. This process is completed before the first transfer or account activation.

On average, verification takes 4–7 business days, but in some cases, the timeframe may be longer, and additional information or documents may be required.

TransferWise does not always accept all applicants, so there is always a risk of refusal for both personal and business accounts.

To open an account in TransferWise and successfully pass verification, contact our specialists. We will prepare all the necessary documents, minimize your involvement in the process, and register a personal or business account for you with minimal risk of refusal.
