If you’ve let people find you, they can sync their contacts and you’ll show up in their Recipients. Or, they can send money with only your email address.
If you’ve marked a primary account, we’ll show them the account you want to receive money into
If you’ve let people find you, we’ll find a match to your Wise account — just make sure you have a balance to receive money into first.
This is how to switch the feature on in your account:
On the app
Go to Account
Tap the 3 dots at the top to find Settings
Under Privacy, select Contacts on Wise
Use the switches to select how you’d like to be found — or remove yourself as a recipient
On desktop
Go to your Settings
Select Contacts on Wise
Use the switches to select how you’d like to be found — or remove yourself as a recipient
This feature is automatically switched off, so if you don’t want people finding you — you don’t have to do anything.
What do we do with the information from your phone’s contacts?
We never send or store your full phone’s contacts on our servers. We also never get in touch with your contacts. We only use this information to make it easier to send money between you and your friends.
Bear in mind that when you switch the feature on, any Wise customer with your phone number will see your account name and photo on their app.
