Wise Business for your LLC: multi-currency balances and account details
Prepare Wise Business for your LLC: multi-currency balances, account details for receiving payments, fees, cards and an organised international treasury.
Wise Business can help a US LLC receive, hold and pay in different currencies when the relevant features are enabled for its business profile. For a company working across the Atlantic, the appeal is straightforward: get paid in the agreed currency, then choose how much to exchange.
Beyond EUR and USD, options may include GBP, AUD, CAD, SGD, AED, CHF, CNY, CZK, DKK, HKD, HUF, ILS, NZD, PHP, SEK, PLN and NOK. The available currency, its account details and receiving route depend on the registered country, business profile and enabled features.
Start with your customers and suppliers, not a collection of finance apps. If you invoice in EUR and have bills in EUR, keeping some euros may be more useful than exchanging everything into USD and back again. Your LLC can use Wise alongside other accounts, with a clear purpose for each one.
Opening Wise Business for a US LLC: explain the business behind the account
Before applying, describe a normal month: who pays you, which currencies arrive and where your payments go. “Digital services” is vague. “Website design for European businesses, with contractors billing in euros” gives the reviewer a much clearer picture.
Wise's US business verification guidance covers company identity, EIN, addresses, activity and ownership. Check eligibility for both your formation state and operating country before starting the application.
An active website or storefront link makes the business easier to verify: show what you offer, who you serve and how to contact the company. Have the EIN, registered address and physical trading address ready. Wise uses trading address for the operating location; these are not two additional addresses. Complete owner and representative identification as requested. Consistent information helps the review move forward without avoidable follow-up.
Keep the LLC's current records to hand and reconcile its legal name across them. The person submitting the application should be authorized to act for the business. Send the documents actually requested through the official channel, rather than uploading an undirected collection of sensitive files.
An Operating Agreement can support an ownership review when requested; it is not a mandatory upload for every application. Wise's business verification process separates initial information from additional evidence. Prepare the ownership records and business details before applying. Exentax checks their consistency, helps answer additional requests and follows the application through the provider's review.
Registered address and working location serve different purposes
One address identifies the LLC's registration; the other explains where the work happens. Do not copy one into both fields simply because it is convenient. A genuine home workspace can be relevant, including outside the US, where the country and business profile qualify.
Our LLC address and proof-of-address guide explains the distinctions. Prepare evidence for the particular address being checked. A document showing the company's formation address does not necessarily answer a question about your daily workplace.
Receive multiple currencies: activate account details before invoicing
Wise Business can hold balances in multiple currencies, but having account details to receive transfers in a particular currency is a separate capability. Check the account-details activation process for your profile. Availability of each currency and its account details depends on your profile and enabled features.
Enabled EUR receiving details let euro receipts reach the EUR balance. For US customers, Wise's USD instructions distinguish ACH, domestic wire and SWIFT. Where the payment originates matters as well as its currency.
Choose the receiving instructions to match the customer's payment method:
| Incoming payment | Details to copy from Wise | Balance credited |
|---|---|---|
| EUR through SEPA | Account holder and EUR IBAN | EUR |
| EUR through SWIFT | International instructions for your EUR details | EUR |
| USD through ACH or domestic wire | Account holder, USD routing and account number | USD |
| USD through SWIFT | Account holder, SWIFT/BIC, account number, beneficiary address and bank details | USD |
The sending account and available payment method determine the route, not just the customer's home address. Include the invoice reference and provide the ownership document if requested. Copy the active instructions for that method rather than combining details from two balances.
Wise Business fees: look at what the recipient receives
Wise's US Business pricing distinguishes its market exchange-rate reference from transaction fees. Your useful comparison is the complete payment, not the headline exchange rate alone.
For US businesses, Wise Business Advanced has a one-time setup fee of USD 31 to activate receiving account details, including EUR details with an IBAN where available. It is not a monthly subscription or an all-inclusive transfer fee. Check the active currency details before sharing them with a customer; conversion and payment charges are quoted separately. Pricing checked on 8 September 2026.
Use the following checks when assessing two otherwise equivalent quotes:
| Transaction | What to check | How to use it |
|---|---|---|
| Enable receiving details | Initial business-profile charge | Include it in setup costs |
| Receive an invoice payment | Payer's currency and transfer method | Provide compatible instructions |
| Exchange a balance | Amount supplied, fee and net proceeds | Convert for an identified need |
| Pay a supplier | Required delivery amount and due date | Quote the payment from that obligation |
| Move funds between LLC accounts | Holder, destination and purpose | Keep the movement identifiable |
Compare quotes at the same time and for the same amount. A domestic payment and an international transfer are not interchangeable price examples. Our LLC currency-exchange guide takes the comparison further without assuming one provider is always cheapest.
A planning example: euro revenue and a dollar expense
Suppose an LLC has received EUR 6,000 for a project. It owes EUR 2,000 to a contractor and USD 1,200 for business services. These are illustrative figures, not a reported client outcome.
Set aside the contractor's EUR 2,000 first. Then request a quote that delivers USD 1,200 to the US supplier. The euro amount needed depends on the current rate and applicable charges. There is no operational reason to exchange the full EUR 6,000 just to cover that dollar bill.
Decide what to do with the remainder by looking at upcoming commitments and the company's reserve needs. This is a cash-planning decision, not an exchange-rate prediction. Money received for a project is not automatically the amount available for an owner withdrawal.
If the dollar supplier changes its payment details, confirm the change through a known contact before sending. A good payment routine combines suitable currency tools with ordinary business judgment.
Business cards and delegated access
Where the business card is available, it can pay company expenses. If the payment currency is unavailable or insufficient, Smart Conversion selects an available currency with the lowest conversion fee.
For recurring purchases, check the supplier's billing currency and retain invoices addressed to the LLC. A card transaction shows that money was spent; the invoice explains what the business bought.
Wise provides separate team permissions. Someone who reviews statements may not need authority to send transfers. Give people individual access suited to their responsibilities and revisit it when roles change. Sharing the owner's password is not a useful substitute for delegation.
Understand the balance product, not just the Wise name
Wise is not a bank. Its optional US interest feature offers pass-through FDIC coverage through program banks for eligible, opted-in balances. Do not automatically apply that description to an ordinary Wise balance.
The FDIC explains the conditions for pass-through coverage at the insured bank. Before choosing where to hold reserves, establish which product your LLC actually uses and read its terms. The app's brand and the institution holding the funds are different pieces of information.
Questions about using Wise Business with an LLC
Can the LLC collect revenue through my personal Wise profile?
Use the company's Business profile for its activity. You may be able to switch between personal and business profiles under one login, but their holders and transactions remain distinct.
Must euro receipts be converted into dollars?
No. With EUR receiving and balance features enabled, you can hold euros for later payments. Receiving money and exchanging it are separate decisions, subject to the features available to your profile.
When can I give customers my Wise payment details?
After the required verification is complete and receiving details are active. Check the currency, holder and supported payment method first. Starting an application does not mean the account is ready to accept customer payments.
Is there a setup fee for each currency?
No. The initial charge does not repeat for each available currency. Receiving, conversion and transfer fees are separate.
