Referral link: I may earn a reward at no extra cost to you. Eligibility and terms vary.

A Wise referral can involve two separate benefits: an offer for the person joining and a reward for the existing customer who invited them. They do not necessarily qualify at the same time. The programme and conditions vary, so use the invitation page attached to your account as the starting point. Wise free-transfer invite programme.

If you are joining through an invitation

Read the offer before signing up and save its terms. Check the eligible transfer type, covered amount and expiry. Wise’s fee-free transfer guidance describes a single-use benefit applied to the next eligible transfer; amounts beyond the allowance can still attract fees. It does not mean every future transfer is free. Fee-free transfer conditions.

Before paying, inspect the fee in the transfer summary. Compare the final recipient amount with another current quote if price is the reason you are choosing the service. A discount alone does not establish which provider delivers more money.

If you invited a friend

Check the friend’s status on your invite page and read what counts as a qualifying transfer. In the documented free-transfer programme, same-currency payments, balance conversions and card spending do not qualify for the inviter’s reward. A friend receiving a joining benefit does not prove the reward conditions were met. Qualifying activity.

A practical record includes the invitation date, the offer displayed, the friend’s signup status and the reason a transfer has not qualified. Keep private account details out of shared messages.

Wise says an invitation link can be added within 30 days of signup when someone registered without one. Follow its missed-link instructions promptly; do not assume the window can be extended or an expired offer restored.

For a missing voucher or incomplete reward, use our referral troubleshooting guide. It separates missing attribution from a transfer that does not satisfy the offer.

Some links on this site can reward the author if the programme conditions are met. That relationship does not create a fixed discount or a guarantee of eligibility. Our promo guide explains how to inspect an offer, and the About page describes the site’s editorial approach.
