    New development, new Ghanaian users can no longer add money to their Wise accounts. They can withdraw whatever they have in their account. Wise never explained why but I believe it's time to look at other options.

      You can't send physical cash into your Wise account since it's not a physical bank. You'll need a Visa or Mastercard to transfer funds.

    • @Ric_A
      @Ric_A  Год назад +1

      1. Open Wise and log into your account
      2. Find the balance you need and click on Get account details
      3. You'll be prompted to top up your account. This first top up can be in any currency you'd like to have available, but the minimum amount should be 20 GBP or equivalent in another currency. The full balance will be available for you to spend after
      4. Add money using your bank account, Apple Pay, credit or debit card
      5. Besides topping up your account, Wise will need to verify you. This means they might ask for additional details or documents from you³
      6. Once you're fully verified, you'll be able to access your local details!

      This is the issue most new Wise users are facing. The only way out according to my comments is to register from a country that hasn't been suspended by Wise.

    Hello boss
    Please in Ghana now news account holders can't create a balance with wise to have access to account details.
    Plus there's no way to create a wise business account only a personal one in Ghana
    How can I access my account details from ghana so as to link to paypal

    • @Ric_A
      @Ric_A  Год назад

      Thanks Samuel, this is the first time I'm hearing about this. Did you make a deposit to your account?
      I haven't tried creating a business account so I have no idea how it is for Ghanaians.
      When you sign up, you have to make a deposit before you can gain access to your account details. It's not possible to link a Wise account to PayPal.

      I'm sure you tried applying for a Wise card. That is not supported in Ghana.
      For your account details, you'll need to "open a balance or jar" in the currency you want. Follow the instructions, you'll be good to go.

      Hi Benjamin, I believe Wise recently decided to no longer allow users based in Ghana to access foreign accounts. It's very disappointing. According to a commenter, registering as a user from the UK can solve this.
