If you wish to use Wise.com to pay your affiliates, please refer to the following guide. In general, you have two options:
Use the Batch Payment option, allowing you to pay your affiliates directly into their bank accounts from your Wise account.
Send money from one Wise account to another, using only your affiliate's email address.
Decide which option you prefer and set up the payment method for your affiliates accordingly. For Batch Payment, we recommend adding 'Bank Transfer' or 'Bank Transfer SEPA'. For transfers between Wise accounts, you can add a payment method simply called 'Wise'.
We advise checking everything from the affiliate's perspective to ensure you understand exactly what your partners will see on your platform.
