How Wise Referral Works (2026): Link, Eligibility, and Rewards

Wise referral program overview

Independent note: referral links on this page may earn me a reward at no extra cost to you.

How does Wise referral work?

Last updated: February 16, 2026

Wise (formerly TransferWise) runs a referral program where existing users can invite new users through a personal link.

Use my Wise referral link to check whether a first-transfer offer is currently available for your country.

Disclosure: This post includes my Wise referral link. If you use it, I may receive a referral reward at no extra cost to you.

How the referral flow works

  1. You open Wise through a referral link.
  2. You create a new account (if eligible).
  3. You complete a qualifying transfer based on current Wise referral terms.
  4. Wise tracks the referral and applies the offer/reward if requirements are met.

What usually counts as a qualifying referral

Requirements can vary by region and campaign, but common conditions include:

  • New user account only
  • Transfer above a minimum amount
  • Completed payment (not canceled)
  • Correct tracking from referral click to account setup

Always check the in-app referral terms before sending money.

Why referrals sometimes do not track

Typical reasons:

  • Account already existed
  • Transfer amount below minimum requirement
  • Transfer was canceled or refunded
  • Browser tracking/cookie interruption
  • Referral terms changed after click

How to avoid missing a referral offer

  • Open the link and complete signup in the same browser/session
  • Confirm offer visibility before paying
  • Keep screenshots of terms shown at signup
  • Complete the first qualifying transfer promptly

Using a referral link itself is normal. Safety depends on whether the link points to the official Wise domain.

Before signing up, verify the URL starts with https://wise.com/.

Final takeaway

Referral offers can reduce first-transfer cost, but exact terms depend on your country and current campaign.
