- New invoicing tool enables businesses to create invoices, receive payments faster and automate reconciliation
- Last financial year, more than 600,000 businesses used Wise Business, marking a 20% year-on-year increase
New York, 26 September 2024 – Wise Business, the international business account for going global, has announced the launch of a brand new invoicing feature. The free-to-use service simplifies the process of generating invoices, making and receiving payments, and tracking finances — all within the Wise Business account.
Designed with smaller businesses in mind, the service is available free of charge to Wise Business customers, and offers users the ability to:
- Create and issue professional, well-formatted invoices – which can be automatically issued via email
- Automatically reconcile payments without hassle, with invoices seamlessly integrated into the Wise Business account
- Track an invoice’s status to see what’s paid or overdue
- Issue invoices in multiple currencies – including USD, EUR, GBP and PHP – and receive payments free of inflated exchange rates and hidden fees
- Attach payment methods, allowing clients to pay quick and securely – a “Pay with Wise” option provides the cheapest, fastest experience for users whose customers also use Wise
After an initial beta phase and full roll out in September, the new invoicing tool has already helped businesses globally process approximately $18.5mn worth of invoices, making their payment experience faster and more efficient.
June Yuan, Wise Business Product Lead, said: “Invoicing is an essential yet often dreaded part of running a business. This is amplified when a business is operating internationally and needs to manage the complexity of multiple currencies, different types of account number formats, and more.
“We’ve built this new feature to take the pain out of invoicing and make getting paid as simple as possible. With Wise, businesses can now create and send invoices in just a few clicks, and the payments flow seamlessly — saving them time and effort, all while using the real exchange rate, the one you see on Google. Best of all, it’s free to use.”

This launch further amplifies the growing success of Wise Business, which has surpassed 600,000 active customers globally – marking a 20% year-on-year increase over last financial year.
