Take control of your business finances

Markéta Fiala

Using a Business account to manage your finances can be costly, time consuming and complex. This is especially true if you're expanding overseas, which can mean paying international suppliers, freelancers and contractors, holding balances in multiple currencies or making it easy for customers to pay you wherever they are in the world.

That’s why we launched Wise Business - to make international payments **fast, affordable, transparent and easy **.We’re trusted by over 300,000+ businesses who use us to manage their money and make payments in 40+ currencies to more than 160 countries.

We know that managing your business can get overwhelming at times, so we’ve picked out the top 3 features designed to help you take control of your business finances.

Let’s take a closer look.

Upgrade to get account details in 8+ major currencies

Receiving money from customers around the world usually requires you to set up a business bank account in the country you're operating in. But in-person account opening can involve plenty of time and piles of paperwork.

When you upgrade your Wise Business account, you can set up local account details and start receiving money, including high value transfers, from around the world, in 8+ major currencies including USD, CAD, EUR, GBP and more, for free.

You can invoice customers and clients using your account details and get paid just like a local, with customers able to pay you in the currency of their choice.

You’ll also be notified in your Wise app as soon as the money lands in your account, ready to use to cover business expenses. Extra tools like batch payments also allow you to send up to 1,000 payments to suppliers, employees and contractors in just one click, in multiple currencies.

Boost account security with tailored roles

At Wise we understand that protecting your business funds and valuable data, not to mention effective delegation of tasks, are a key concern. So we built multi-user access to help you control who can access your account, authorise transactions and edit your Wise Business account data. We’ve created 5 tailored roles allowing you to assign responsibilities to team members.

💳 Employee: This role has the authority to use the Wise account to purchase supplies, without access to any sensitive financial information. The Wise debit card can be used for spending, but users won't be able to view business activity, balances, or individuals/organisations receiving money.

👀 Viewer: If you have an accountant or someone who only reports on your financial data, Viewer will be the right setting for them. Providing view-only access to observe transfers, batch payments, balances, users and recipients, they can also access transfer receipts, statements, invoices, transfer histories or request letters.

📝 Preparer: These employees are granted the same permissions as Viewers, plus the ability to assign recipients and set up transfer orders. However, we understand you may want to sign off their transfers, therefore approval from either an Admin or Account Owner is necessary, giving you peace of mind.

💸 Payer: The go-to role for financial managers and payment handlers. Not only do they have the ability to act as Viewers or Preparers but they can also cancel transfers, batch payments, manage recipients as well as handle currency conversions.

👩‍ Admin: The Admins hold nearly the same level of authority as the Account Owner. They have the same privileges as all of the roles above, plus they can open and close balances, manage Wise business debit cards and request updates to business information.

🧳 Account Owner: The account holder holds the highest authority and is able to perform all tasks in the account, such as transferring ownership, closing the Wise business account, and setting up Xero Pay batch payments.
