To register for a Wise account, you'll typically need a valid government-issued ID (passport or driver's license), proof of address, and information about your business if you're opening a business account. The exact requirements may vary depending on your location and account type.

Wise uses bank-level security measures including 256-bit SSL encryption, two-factor authentication, and regulatory oversight. Your money is held in segregated accounts with top-tier banks and is protected by local deposit insurance schemes where available. We're regulated by financial authorities in multiple countries.

Opening a Wise account is free. You only pay when you use our services - like sending money, converting currencies, or using the Wise card. Our fees are transparent and always shown upfront before you complete any transaction.
