 </li>
 <li>
 
 IBAN
 
 (International Bank Account Number)

 </li>
 <li>
 
 BSB Code
 (for Australia): A 6-digit number used to identify the individual branch of an Australian financial institution.
 
 </li>
 </ul>
 <hr/>
 <h3>
 What details should I provide for international payments?
 </h3>

 <ul>
 <li>
 
 Swift/BIC
 : A unique code to identify your bank globally.
 
 </li>
 <li>
 
 IBAN (International Bank Account Number)
 : Used in many countries, it includes your country code, bank code, and account number.

How do I receive money to my Wise account details?

Receiving money

<div>
 
 Wise is licensed to hold your money, and as part of keeping it safe, we follow strict rules set out by the regulators in the countries where we operate. 
 
 
 As of 30 June 2025, our customers are trusting us with the equivalent of 18.1 billion GBP in their Wise accounts.
 
 
 If you keep money with us, our regulatory obligation is to hold all of it in cash, secure liquid assets, or insured by a comparable guarantee. 
 
 <h3>
 How is this different from a bank?
 </h3>
 
 We don’t lend out your money. Banks do. This is why governments require them to insure their deposits by participating in country-specific deposit insurance schemes, like the 
 <a rel="noreferrer" target="_blank" href="https://www.fscs.org.uk/about-us/">
 FSCS
 </a>
 in the UK. 
 
 
 Because we’re not lending your money, we handle it differently by safeguarding it. 
 
 <h3>
 What is safeguarding?
 </h3>
 
 Safeguarding means we look after your money by keeping it separate from our own money, and making it available to you whenever you need it. 
 
 
 How we hold your money can vary by country, for example:

 <h3>
 How we keep your money available to you even during market turmoil
 </h3>
 
 We make sure your money is safe and readily available to you. Most of your money is in secure liquid assets — such as EU, UK and US Government bonds, and money market funds as of 1 April 2024. 
 
 
 For a government bond to fail, the government would need to default on their loan payments, which almost never happens with stable governments.
 
 
 The bonds we hold are mostly short-term bonds, so we’re not materially exposed to increasing interest rates, making us more resilient. 
 
 
 The average duration of the bonds we hold is under 6 months, with the majority of bonds having a remaining term of 3 months or less.
 
 
 The money that we put into banks, we hold it in several reputable banks with strong liquidity.
