Did my usual transfer from my Australian bank through Wise and Wise have issued me with a new account to deposit to, they have given me a new BSB as well as a new account number to use that they say is set for me only as the one I have been using for them for many years now will no longer be valid.

I tried to use the new details with my bank to do the transfer and it set off a major alarm as fraud and my bank rejected the transfer making me use my old details  but Wise informed that after this payment I can no longer use those details as they are shutting down that account.

I messaged my bank as well as Wise, my bank is saying that as far as they are concerned it is fraud, Wise says they are fine, problem now is I am unable to transfer money to Thailand till it is sorted.

 

Have any other Wise users in here been given new deatails regarding where they send their money to so that it can be  transfered to Thailand by Wise, I do not want to use a fraudulent account to send my money to so need to see if any other users from Australia have been told to change their account details for Wise Australia pty ltd that they transfer to from their aussie bank

Contact Wise directly confirm all details and then contact your Australian bank directly. A few months ago Wise did change things around a bit but these changes actually made the process times faster, but they did not involve changing account numbers. Wise has international numbers you can also call them on, you can find the number within the app.  If the Australian bank is saying fraud it probably is.

Has anyone else had recent issue with WISE.

Previous transfer from my Westpac to WISE in minutes.

Now several hours already.

Reply from WISE basically "chill" 

Nonsense. 

My funds went out of my Westpac yesterday and still not land with WISE.

Not happy. 

Previously transfer $5k aud every month. Transfers very quick sometimes hour or two to appear in my Thai bank.

Have spoken (twice) on phone and twice via type chat (real person) 

All I get is be patient...

What the heck going on

Two days ago I did a $30 transfer to Wise (wallet) 

Made a new recipient to my list of billers/payees. 

Using new account name BSB and a/c number.

Went through instantly.

Note: my Westpac app account straight away asked series of questions also sent me a OTP using my Thai cell number. 

Then they sent the $30 to Wise.

For the $5000 yesterday. Used the new recipient again and funds instantly out of the account.

I expected them to land with WISE within the hour. 

Previously was ever sooner. 

Not Happy Chappy

This is specific to Australia.

WISE has sent emails to Oz customers to change BSB, Account details etc

[DrJack54]

Update: WISE has transferred the funds. Yippi.

So in reality this approx 24hrs

Assuming I understand your question correctly ...

 

- Log into Wise with a browser
- In the "Home" menu click on the "AUD" account
- Look under the circle (with Australian flag) where it says "AUD balance" and it will state in a large font how much you have in AUD.  Under that in very small font will be a small 'account #' (with an orange circle and exclamation mark in front and a 'greater than' simple to the right of the small number account number). CLICK ON THAT number

 

That should give you your account details. At least that works for me.

 

This is what I got when going via settings,  proof of ownership. It's for my Euro Account though, but not much different for AUD accounts, I think.
