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.
