Wise referral

There's no open threads for Wise, so here's my referral.

There's a $30 bonus for yours truly if you sign up and make a card payment or cross-currency transfers over A$300.

You get a free transfer of up to A$1,000, or a free physical card (digital cards are free).

Formerly Transferwise, Wise is a good travel option for FX. They're about to launch "everyday" accounts too, so you could make/receive payments, direct debit etc.

Wise just sent out an email that they are changing the referral program on 25 June 2026. The current program requires referrers to refer 3 members before they receive a $145 reward. For members who haven't referred 3 members, existing referrals will expire and then members will be transitioned to the new program which provides a $30 benefit per referral.

Other details remain the same like the referee bonus remains the same as a fee free transfer up to $1000 or a free Wise card. And the referee needs to make a cross-currency transfer over 300 AUD or spend over 300 AUD with a Wise card for the refferal to count for the refferrer.

I have completed 2 referrals and only need 1 more. I would be very grateful for anyone who signs up with my link and completes the qualifying criteria. I have used Wise for around a decade and they have always been great (quick and good rates). My referral link is below:

There's no information about needing three referrals, expiring referrals or a program change date with the program offered to me. Only that there is a maximum of five referrals so a max of $150 can be earned.

@one9 Not sure if you're talking about a very old referral program or perhaps an overseas based one.

As said, the referee bonus and reqs are the same.

I presume you signed up fairly recently? The Wise referral program was always that you needed to make 3 referrals to get the $145 reward. It seems they introduced a new program for new members only (in the last year or so? ) to receive a $30 reward per referral instead. And now they are going to close the old referral program and transition members to the new referral program. That is why they sent the email out on Thursday about it. Some discussion about it here:

It means you would need to put $300 in the account and then spend it using your Wise visa card (instant digital card or physical card). The alternative is to make a cross-currency transfer over 300 AUD.

No not new, signed up several years ago but have had no interaction with the referral program until now. You've been grandfathered
