Guide to ILS transfers

Here you’ll find answers to the most common questions about Israeli shekel (ILS) transfers.

Check the latest fees

Sending to ILS

Who can I send ILS to?

You can send ILS to individual and business bank accounts in Israel.

What information do I need about my recipient?

You’ll need their full name and 23-character IBAN. 

You will also need to choose a transfer reason from a dropdown menu.

How much can I send?

You can send up to 4 million ILS per transfer.

How long does it usually take for the money to arrive?

Once Wise receives and converts your money, it usually arrives in your recipient’s bank account on the same working day. If the recipient bank is Yahav, it usually takes 1 working day for the money to arrive. Conversion can take up to 2 working days. 

We’ll always give you an estimate for how long your transfer will take when you set it up.

Sending from ILS

Who can send money from ILS?

You can only send money from ILS if you're an Israeli national.

What types of transfers can I use to send ILS?

You can pay for a transfer by bank transfer. Make sure to always include your membership number as a reference.

How much can I send?

There might be different limits when you're sending money from ILS — we're working on removing them. Keep in mind once you've reached your personal limit, you won’t be able to pay for your next transfer.

Where can I send from?

You can only send ILS from your personal bank account. 

How long does it usually take for the money to arrive?

It usually takes 1-2 working days for your money to get to Wise, depending on when you pay for your transfer. Then, we convert it and send it out. Conversion can take up to 2 working days. 

Check the guide for the currency you’re sending to for an estimate on how long it'll take to arrive in your recipient’s account after we send it out.

I’ve cancelled my payment, how long will my refund take?

We’ll let you know when we’ve refunded your money. It usually arrives in your bank account on the same working day. 

Make sure to wait until the above time frame has passed before getting in touch about a refund — we can’t speed up the process.

Can I send money to my friends/families and companies or investments? 

Yes you can — but only for these reasons:

  • Supporting family or friends

  • Travelling/Tourism

  • Paying for goods

  • Paying taxes

  • Paying supplier

  • Education

  • Paying for services provided abroad

  • Collecting profit from investment

  • Buying/selling a vehicle

  • Pension payment

Can I top up my Wise balances with ILS? 

Not yet, but we're working to make it available in the future.
