How to create Wise account in India

Creating a Wise account in India is straightforward. Visit the Wise website or download the app, then sign up with your email address and create a password. You'll need to verify your identity by uploading a government-issued ID such as an Aadhaar card or passport, along with proof of address. Once verified, you can add money to your Wise account via bank transfer or debit card and start sending funds internationally. However, Wise primarily serves as a money transfer service rather than a complete receiving solution for Indian freelancers and exporters.

If you're looking to receive international payments for business purposes, platforms like Skydo offer a more tailored solution. Skydo is RBI-authorised and designed specifically for Indian exporters and freelancers, providing faster processing times and competitive rates. Before choosing Wise, it's worth reviewing the Wise overview to understand how it compares with dedicated receiving platforms. Skydo typically offers better support for invoicing, compliance, and local currency payouts directly to your Indian bank account.
