Wise Referral: International Transfers, No Hidden Fees
Discount for the referee, reward for the referrer, amount depends on region
The Wise referral does not work with a fixed amount: Wise assigns several invite programmes depending on your region, and the one that applies to you is shown on your wise.com/invite page. The referee gets a discount to try the service, usually a free transfer, sometimes a choice between a free transfer and a free card. The referrer is rewarded once their referee meets the usage condition. Conditions recorded in the Wise help centre on 28/07/2026.
Who it's for and when
Wise is relevant if you regularly send money between different currencies, or spend abroad with a multi-currency card. The referral follows the same logic: it only triggers on real usage, an international transfer between two currencies or card spending. If the people around you do not have that need, the invitation will not convert, whatever the amount displayed.
How to get it, step by step
- Open your invite page at wise.com/invite and read the programme assigned to you
- Copy your personal invite link
- The referee creates their Wise account through the link and gets their discount
- The referee reaches the required usage amount, by cross-currency transfer or card spending
- Wise emails you how to claim the reward, to be done within one year
Our analysis
Wise is upfront about something many comparison sites hide: there is no single scale. Several programmes coexist, assigned by region, and the only reliable place to see yours is your own invite page. The mechanism stays constant: the referee signs up through the link, then has to reach a usage threshold, which can be reached over several transactions, either by international transfers between different currencies or by spending with the multi-currency card. The referee keeps their discount even if they do not reach that amount, only the referrer's reward depends on it. The referrer can earn the reward as many times as they invite, with no announced cap, but must claim it within one year of qualifying or it expires. Watch the list of operations that do not count: same-currency transfers, conversions between Wise accounts, withdrawals and cash-like operations, gambling, payments to financial institutions, public bodies and tax authorities, and anything tied to commodities, investments, savings or crypto assets.

Frequently asked questions
How much does the Wise referral pay?
There is no single answer, and Wise says so itself: several invite programmes coexist, assigned by region. The only reliable amount is the one shown on your own wise.com/invite page. Be wary of sites announcing one figure for everyone. Recorded in the Wise help centre on 28/07/2026.
What must the referee do for me to get my reward?
Sign up through your link, then reach a usage amount, either by sending an international transfer between two different currencies or by spending with their Wise multi-currency card. The amount can be reached over several transactions. A same-currency transfer does not count, nor does a withdrawal, cashback or gift-card purchase.
Does the Wise reward expire?
Yes. Once you qualify, Wise emails you how to claim the reward, and you have one year to do it. After that it expires. Many referrers overlook this.
