Welcome to the TransferWise API documentation. You can explore the different ways to use our API and choose the right one for you below.

Payouts and Account Automation

This lets you to automate how you use your TransferWise account. You can automate payments, connect your business tools, and create ways to manage your finances.

You can:

Our Payouts Guide will help you get started with the technical integration.

Third-Party Payouts

Third-Party Payouts allows marketplaces and financial institutions (banks and payment service providers) to use TransferWise as a payout option for their customers. It’s different from Payouts since it doesn’t require your company to be the originator of payments. Instead, TransferWise will act as a third-party to your customers when they initiate a payment through your site.

All the above listed payouts and account automation benefits are also true for third-party payouts service. You can build payment services to your customers on top of TransferWise payment platform that enables your customers to send cross-border payouts to 40+ currencies in 70+ countries.

In addition there will also be a dedicated account manager who will be your primary contact to solve all questions and support issues should these arise.

Please note that subscribing to third party payouts service requires your company to complete enhanced due diligence process performed by TransferWise compliance team. Please contact bizdev@transferwise.com for more info how to get started.

Our Third-Party Payouts Guide will help you get started with the technical integration.

Banks

Our bank integration lets banks build TransferWise payments seamlessly into their own desktop and mobile apps. Banks can also build their own native user experience directly onto our API, co-branded with TransferWise.

Affiliates

When you apply to the TransferWise affiliates program you can get access to our API to help you build your own valuable content for your customers or readers.

The TransferWise API lets you to:

The Affiliates Integration Guide helps you get started with the technical integration.

Connected Applications

With Connected Applications, you can let your customers connect their TransferWise accounts to your product. Say you’re an accounting software – doing this could let your customers automate reconciliation. If you’re a payroll company, you could push customer payments right into TransferWise. Or you could push TransferWise notifications through your app. Whatever you want to build, you likely could!

Unfortunately this functionality isn’t available to everyone yet, but we’re working hard to open it to everyone. To discuss your use case please contact bizdev@transferwise.com.

Receive Money

You can receive money to the local bank details that come with your TransferWise account (AUD, EUR, GBP, NZD and USD) and reconcile these incoming payments via the API.

We currently don’t offer the option to build TransferWise into your checkout flow as a payment option to receive money. Note though that TransferWise can be added as a payout option on your site for beneficiaries to choose to receive their payout through (to an email or straight to bank account).

Payouts Guide

Welcome to the TransferWise payouts API documentation. Before you start coding, please take few moments to review some important information about TransferWise and our API.

Getting started

1. Learn about TransferWise.

TransferWise and its borderless account features and pricing are best explained below.

https://transferwise.com/gb/borderless/pricing

2. Sign up for your TransferWise account, activate your borderless account, and complete verification.

Using the product before integrating with our API will help you understand how our payment flow works. Just follow these four steps.

3. Choose the best tool for you

You don’t necessarily need to integrate with the API to make a large number of payouts. We have two ways you can do it:

API access

curl -X GET https://api.sandbox.transferwise.tech/v1/profiles \
     -H "Authorization: Bearer xxxxxxxx-xxxx-xxxx-xxxx-xxxxxxxx"

Authentication

Sign up for a developer account and get your personal API token for our sandbox. https://sandbox.transferwise.tech/register

NB! Two factor authentication (2FA) code for sandbox login is 111111.

Your developer account will have some test money that you can use to start making payments in same way as you would in a live environment. You can get your API tokens in the Settings tab of your account page.

Add your API token as header parameter to every request like this:

Authorization: Bearer xxxxxxxx-xxxx-xxxx-xxxx-xxxxxxxx

Acquiring your API token

Your API tokens section can be found at the bottom of the Settings page inside your TransferWise account. By default, you have no active tokens. You can issue new tokens after enabling 2-step login.

We support tokens of two permission levels:

Issue a Read only token unless you specifically need the capabilities of Full access. Token permission level can be changed after issuance. The lifetime of the token is 10 years.

Keeping your API token safe

Your API tokens should be guarded closely. They represent your identity and authorization and can be used to interact with your TransferWise account on your behalf. Whoever has access to your token can access your account details and history. In the case of a Full access token, they can also send transfers. Once you obtain an API token from us, it is on you to keep it safe.

Below is technical advise and guidance on how to protect your tokens. Not everything may apply to the application you are building and the goal is not to provide a long checklist of things to do. Rather, we attempt to provide generic guidance and best-practices, to send you in the right direction. You will have to do additional research and consider the specific technology and purpose of your application.

Source code

Don't store API tokens as plaintext files in Git

$ git clone https://github.com/mycompany/myapp.git
$ cat myapp.git/apiconfig.json
{
  "token": "xxxxxxxx-xxxx-xxxx-xxxx-xxxxxxxx",
  "url": "api.transferwise.com"
}

A common mistake made by engineers is storing access tokens in source code, in plaintext - which is then shared in a version control system, sometimes publicly.

When an API token is stored like this, it can be accessed and used by anyone who has access to the source code. Avoid storing secrets in code.

Instead:

Limit permissions of a sensitive configuration file

$ cp .env.sample .env
$ echo .env >> .gitignore
$ chown myapp:root .env && chmod 600 .env

Token lifecycle

If you suspect that your token has leaked, revoke and rotate it. If you accidentally push a token to a remote public repository, rotate it. Quickly deleting an access token from VCS might not be enough - remember that VCS stores historical changes, is distributed and might have automation assigned to new pushes.

Revoke old tokens that you no longer need or use.

During the lifetime of an active token, limit the amount of people and systems who can access it. E-mail inboxes and chat logs are archived and not a secure place to hold tokens. Ideally, your access token would live only in TransferWise systems and your production system(s) that actually need it. You do not need to hold a backup copy of the token, as you can reveal an existing token from your profile settings page.

Encryption

TransferWise API is using HTTPS with >=TLS 1.2. Non-encrypted HTTP connections are not accepted. Do not connect to our API with unencrypted HTTP, as this will transmit your access token in plaintext over the network.

Verifying certificates in client code

<?php
// Secure - this will fail when an invalid HTTPS certificate is returned.
// Such failure is not normal and most likely means there is something
// in-between you and TransferWise, intercepting communications.
$ch = curl_init();
curl_setopt($ch, CURLOPT_SSL_VERIFYHOST, 1);
curl_setopt($ch, CURLOPT_SSL_VERIFYPEER, 1);
curl_setopt($ch, CURLOPT_URL, 'https://api.transferwise.com');


// Insecure - do not do this. This will not validate certificates and
// might leak your access token to an attacker.
// See https://curl.haxx.se/libcurl/c/CURLOPT_SSL_VERIFYPEER.html
$ch = curl_init();
curl_setopt($ch, CURLOPT_SSL_VERIFYHOST, 0);
curl_setopt($ch, CURLOPT_SSL_VERIFYPEER, 0);
curl_setopt($ch, CURLOPT_URL, 'https://api.transferwise.com');

Validate certificates. You should not proceed with a connection when you receive a certificate validation error from TransferWise. Make sure all parts of your application are using encryption and HTTPS and failing when certificate validation fails.

Application design

Secure your application against common security flaws (OWASP Top 10). Think how an attacker could leverage Unrestricted File Upload or Insecure Direct Object Reference to read the contents of your server's environment or config files.

If your application is larger, consider extracting TransferWise-specific functionality into a separate middleware or service layer. This would enable you to move API tokens there, separate from the main application.

Do not store the token in user-accessible code such as browser-side JavaScript or Android apps that can be decompiled. The token should always live server-side, exposing domain-logic via API-s.

If you need to pass the token around via HTTP requests, use HTTP headers or POST body - do not store the token in URI or query parameters. Webservers usually log the URL and browsers pass it between websites via the Referer header.

Limiting token access by IP

You can enhance your integration security by only allowing certain IP addresses to use your API token.

Typically, you would integrate with our API from a set number of fixed IP addresses. Restricting access from all other IPs will make it harder to misuse your API token, should it ever leak. IP whitelisting does not protect against cases where several clients egress from the same whitelisted IP (shared external IP for the office network, an egress proxy in front of all of your servers).

Each token can be limited to single IP addresses, a set of IP addresses or entire IP ranges. You can do this in the API token edit view.

Please note:

If a request is being made using an IP address that is not in the whitelisted IP addresses, the server will respond with a 401 Unauthorized HTTP status code.

TEST and LIVE environments

Please note Sandbox environment is limited. We do not send any emails from it as well as transfer processing is not simulated. Please consider Simulation endpoints to change transfer state after funding.

Get your profile id

Example Request:

curl -X GET https://api.sandbox.transferwise.tech/v1/profiles \
     -H "Authorization: Bearer <your api token>"

Example Response:

[
  {
    "id": 217896,
    "type": "personal",
    "details": {

      "lastName": "Wilson",
      "dateOfBirth": "1977-07-01",
      "phoneNumber": "+3725064992",
      "avatar": "https://lh6.googleusercontent.com/-XzeFZ2PJE1A/AAAAAAAI/AAAAAAAAAAA/RvuvhXFsqs0/photo.jpg",
      "occupation": null,
      "primaryAddress": 236532
    }
  },

    "type": "business",
    "details": {
      "name": "ABC Logistics Ltd",
      "registrationNumber": "12144939",
      "acn": null,

      "primaryAddress": 240402,
      "webpage": "https://abc-logistics.com"
    }
  }
]

You only need to call this endpoint once to obtain your user profile id. Your personal and business profiles have different IDs. Profile id values are required when making payouts.

It’s recommended to always provide profileId when you’re creating new resources later (Create Quote, Create Recipient Account, Create Transfer). If you omit profileId then resource will by default belong to your personal profile. This might not be your intention, as you most probably want to execute transfers under your business profile.

There are four steps to execute payouts:

Step 1: Create a quote

Step 2: Create a recipient account

Step 3: Create a transfer

Step 4: Fund a transfer

     -H "Authorization: Bearer <your api token>" \
     -H "Content-Type: application/json" \
     -d '{ 
          "currency": "GBP", 
          "type": "sort_code", 
          "profile": <your profile id>, 
          "accountHolderName": "Ann Johnson",
          "legalType": "PRIVATE",
           "details": {

There are four steps to execute payouts:

Step 1: Create a quote

Step 2: Create a recipient account

Step 3: Create a transfer

Step 4: Fund a transfer


Recipient is a person or institution who is the ultimate beneficiary of your payment.

Recipient bank account details are different for different currencies. For example, you only need to know the IBAN number to send payments to most European and Nordic countries. But in order to send money to Canada, you’d need to fill out four fields: You recipient’s institution number, transit number, account number, and account type.

A UK GBP example is provided here. You can find other currency examples in Recipient Accounts section below.

Request

POST https://api.sandbox.transferwise.tech/v1/accounts

Field Description Format
currency 3 character currency code Text
type Recipient type Text
profile Personal or business profile id Integer
accountHolderName Recipient full name Text
legalType Recipient legal type: PRIVATE or BUSINESS Text

currency 2 character country code Text
country 3 character currency code Text
type Recipient type Text
details Currency specific fields Group
details.sortCode Recipient bank sort code (GBP example) Text
details.accountNumber Recipient bank account no (GBP example) Text

Send money to email recipient

If you don't know your recipient’s bank account details, you can still send money using their email address. You need to set up email recipient and then TransferWise will collect bank details directly from your recipient.

When you set up the transfer, we’ll email your recipient a secure link to collect their bank account details. Once your recipient provides their bank account details to us, we’re able to complete your transfer.

See below under Recipient Accounts.Create Email Recipients for more details.

Create transfer

Example Request:

curl -X POST https://api.sandbox.transferwise.tech/v1/transfers \
     -H "Authorization: Bearer <your api token>" \
     -H "Content-Type: application/json" \
     -d '{ 
          "targetAccount": <recipient account id>,   
          "quote": <quote id>,
          "customerTransactionId": "<the UUID you generated for the transfer attempt>",
          "details" : {
              "reference" : "to my friend",
              "transferPurpose": "verification.transfers.purpose.pay.bills",
              "sourceOfFunds": "verification.source.of.funds.other"
            } 
         }'

Example Response:

{
    "id": 468956,
    "user": <your user id>,

    "business": <your business profile id>,
    "transferRequest": null,
    "details": {
        "reference": "to my friend"
    },
    "hasActiveIssues": false,
    "sourceCurrency": "EUR",
    "sourceValue": 661.89,
    "targetCurrency": "GBP",
    "targetValue": 600,
    "customerTransactionId": "bd244a95-dcf8-4c31-aac8-bf5e2f3e54c0"
}

There are four steps to execute payouts:

Step 1: Create a quote

Step 2: Create a recipient account

Step 3: Create a transfer

Step 4: Fund a transfer


A transfer is a payout order you make to a recipient account based on a quote. Once created, a transfer will need to be funded within the next 5 working days, or it’ll automatically get cancelled.

Request

POST https://api.sandbox.transferwise.tech/v1/transfers

Field Description Format
targetAccount Recipient account id. You can create multiple transfers to same recipient account. Integer
quote Quote id. You can only create one transfer per one quote.
You cannot use same quote ID to create multiple transfers.		 Integer
customerTransactionId This is required to perform idempotency check to avoid duplicate transfers in case of network failures or timeouts. UUID
details.reference (optional) Recipient will see this reference text in their bank statement. Maximum allowed characters depends on the currency route. Read the Business Payments Tips article for more information. Text
details.transferPurpose (conditionally required) For example when target currency is THB. See more about conditions at Transfers.Requirements Text
details.sourceOfFunds (conditionally required) For example when target currency is USD and transfer amount exceeds 10k. See more about conditions at Transfers.Requirements Text

There are two options to deal with conditionally required fields:

Response

You need to save the transfer id for tracking its status later.

Field Description Format
id Transfer id Integer
user Your user id Integer
targetAccount Recipient account id Integer
sourceAccount Not used Integer
quote Quote id Integer
status Transfer current status Text
reference Deprecated, use details.reference instead Text
rate Exchange rate value Decimal
created Timestamp when transfer was created Timestamp
business Your business profile id Integer
transferRequest Not used Integer
details.reference Payment reference text Text
hasActiveIssues Are there any pending issues which stop executing the transfer? Boolean
sourceCurrency Source currency code Text
sourceValue Transfer amount in source currency Decimal
targetCurrency Target currency code Text
targetValue Transfer amount in target currency Decimal
customerTransactionId UUID format unique identifier assigned by customer. Used for idempotency check purposes. UUID

Avoiding duplicate transfers

We use customerTransactionId field to avoid duplicate transfer requests. When your first call fails (error or timeout) then you should use the same value in customerTransactionId field that you used in the original call when you are submitting a retry message. This way we can treat subsequent retry messages as repeat messages and will not create duplicate transfers to your account.

Fund transfer

Example Request:

curl -X POST https://api.sandbox.transferwise.tech/v1/transfers/{transferId}/payments \
     -H "Authorization: Bearer <your api token>" \
     -H "Content-Type: application/json" \
     -d '{ 
          "type": "BALANCE"   
         }'

Example Response:

{
  "type": "BALANCE",
  "status": "COMPLETED",
  "errorCode": null
}

There are four steps to execute payouts:

Step 1: Create a quote

Step 2: Create a recipient account

Step 3: Create a transfer

Step 4: Fund a transfer


This API call is the final step for executing payouts. TransferWise will now debit funds from your borderless account balance and start processing your transfer. If your borderless balance is short of funds then this call will fail with "insufficient funds" error.

Initial developer account has by default plentiful funds available for EUR, USD, GBP, and AUD.
You can add new currencies to your account via the user interface: https://sandbox.transferwise.tech

You can then top up your new currencies by converting funds from other currencies.

Request

POST https://api.sandbox.transferwise.tech/v1/transfers/{transferId}/payments

Use transfer id that you obtained in previous step.

Field Description Format
type "BALANCE".
This indicates that your transfer will be funded from your borderless account balance.		 Text

Response

You need to save transfer id for tracking its status later.

Field Description Format
type "BALANCE" Text
status "COMPLETED" or "REJECTED" Text
errorCode Failure reason. For example "balance.payment-option-unavailable" Text

Get transfer delivery time

Example Request:

curl -X GET https://api.sandbox.transferwise.tech/v1/delivery-estimates/{transferId} \
     -H "Authorization: Bearer <your api token>"

Example Response:

{
   "estimatedDeliveryDate" : "2018-01-10T12:15:00.000+0000"
}

Get the live delivery estimate for a transfer by the transfer ID. The delivery estimate is the time at which we currently expect the transfer to arrive in the beneficiary's bank account. This is not a guaranteed time, but we’re working hard to make these estimates as accurate as possible.

Request

GET https://api.sandbox.transferwise.tech/v1/delivery-estimates/{transferId}

Response

You need to save the transfer id to track its status later.

Field Description Format
estimatedDeliveryDate Estimated time when funds will arrive to recipient's bank account Timestamp

Track transfer status

Example Request:

curl -X GET https://api.sandbox.transferwise.tech/v1/transfers/{transferId} \
     -H "Authorization: Bearer <your api token>"

Example Response:

{
    "id": 468956,
    "user": <your user id>,
    "targetAccount": <recipient account id>,
    "sourceAccount": null,
    "quote": <quote id>,
    "status": "outgoing_payment_sent",
    "reference": "to my friend",
    "rate": 0.9065,
    "created": "2018-08-28 07:43:55",
    "business": <your business profile id>,
    "transferRequest": null,
    "details": {
        "reference": "to my friend"
    },
    "hasActiveIssues": false,
    "sourceCurrency": "EUR",
    "sourceValue": 661.89,
    "targetCurrency": "GBP",
    "targetValue": 600,
    "customerTransactionId": "bd244a95-dcf8-4c31-aac8-bf5e2f3e54c0"
}

You can check your latest transfer status by polling this endpoint. We’re building webhook notification support us notifying about status changes, but unfortunately this isn’t available yet. Normal state flow of transfers:

Incoming Payment Waiting ⇒ Processing ⇒ Funds Converted ⇒ Outgoing Payment Sent

Outgoing Payment Sent is the final state of the normal flow. If the payment fails, the problematic flow will continue. An example would be if the recipient bank account doesn’t exist or is entered wrong and the payment is returned. Problematic state flow of transfers:

Outgoing Payment Sent ⇒ Bounced Back ⇒ Funds Refunded

Most bounce backs occur within 2-3 business days. However, to be on the safe side, we advise you to check the transfer status for potential bounce backs for 2 weeks.


See below for the full list of transfer statuses and what they mean in the order of occurrence:

Keep in mind the transfer statuses in our API have different names than what you’ll see on our website or app. That’s because we use more consumer friendly language in the front end of our products. For example "Completed" on our website means "outgoing_payment_sent" in the API.



Sandbox limitations

We don't send out email notifications about payment status changes in sandbox.

We don't process payments in sandbox, which means that created payments remain in their first state. You can use Simulation endpoints to change transfer statuses in sandbox.

Create topup order

Step 1 - Create quote for topup:

curl -X POST https://api.sandbox.transferwise.tech/v1/quotes \
     -H "Authorization: Bearer <your api token>" \
     -H "Content-Type: application/json" \
     -d '{ 
          "profile": <your profile id>,
          "source": "EUR",
          "target": "EUR",
          "rateType": "FIXED",
          "targetAmount": 6000,
          "type": "REGULAR"
         }'

Step 2 - Find out your balance recipient account id:

curl -X GET https://api.sandbox.transferwise.tech/v1/borderless-accounts?profileId={profileId} \
     -H "Authorization: Bearer <your api token>"

Example Response:

[
    {
        "id": 64,
        "profileId": <your profile id>,
        "recipientId": <your balance recipient account id>,
        ...
   }
]

Step 3 - Create transfer for topup:

curl -X POST https://api.sandbox.transferwise.tech/v1/transfers \
     -H "Authorization: Bearer <your api token>" \
     -H "Content-Type: application/json" \
     -d '{ 
          "targetAccount": <recipient account id fetched in step 2>,   
          "quote": <quote id from step 1>,
          "customerTransactionId": "<the UUID you generated for the transfer attempt>",
          "details" : {
              "reference" : "optional text to identify your topup order"
            } 
         }'

There are 2 different ways you can send funds to your borderless account:

1) Simply send domestic bank transfer from your bank account to your borderless account details (IBAN / SortCode-AccountNo). There is no need to setup a topup order in this case.

2) Create a topup order and then send corresponding amount via domestic or international bank transfer to TransferWise escrow bank account details.

You can obtain escrow account details from your account manager.

This option is usually used when you are sending funds via international (swift) transfers.

Setting up a topup order is similar to setting up a regular transfer. Some minor changes are documented below.

1. Create topup quote

POST https://api.sandbox.transferwise.tech/v1/quotes

Same way as described in Create quote but use quote type REGULAR:

2. Find out your balance recipient account id

GET https://api.sandbox.transferwise.tech/v1/borderless-accounts?profileId={profileId}

Call Check account balance endpoint and fetch recipientId field value from the response.

This recipientId will not change, so you just need to fetch it once and then you can re-use the same value for all topup orders.

3. Create topup transfer (order)

POST https://api.sandbox.transferwise.tech/v1/transfers

As last step you now need to create a transfer (topup order). This is same call as described in Create transfer.

Use the value fetched in previous step in targetAccount field.

All done.

Third-Party Payouts Guide

This guide is an extension to Payouts Guide and it only outlines small differences between creating regular transfers and creating third party transfers. Please read through regular Payouts Guide first.

Differences

There are four steps to complete payouts:

The difference compared to regular payouts is limited to using a different endpoint in Step 3: Create a transfer.

Instead of using POST https://api.sandbox.transferwise.tech/v1/transfers endpoint to create transfers you need to use

POST https://api.sandbox.transferwise.tech/v1/profiles/{profileId}/third-party-payments endpoint.

This endpoint is very similar to regular Create transfers endpoint, but please note these differences:

Full details how to use this endpoint can be found under API Reference section Create Third-Party Transfers.

All other functionality is available exactly same way as described under Payouts Guide above.

Limitations

Bank Integrations Guide

API access

TransferWise uses standard OAuth 2.0 protocol for authentication and authorization.

Once our partnership begins, we’ll send you API access credentials for the sandbox environment consisting of a Client ID and a Client Secret. The credentials are needed to complete the authorisation_code grant type of OAuth 2.0 through which the customer will allow your application to be able to act on their behalf. We also need redirect_url from your technical team so that we can limit our callbacks to only that URL, this is URL that we will forward users to after successfully granting your application access to their TransferWise account. Specifying this explicitly makes the integration more secure. OAuth 2.0: The Complete Guide is a great way to refresh your knowledge about the protocol itself.

TEST and LIVE environments

Customized user interface

You will build your TransferWise user experience directly into your mobile and desktop applications.

There are different ways to build the frontend experience, especially when it comes to the sequence of steps in the payment flow. This guide is more like a list of building blocks and ideas for what you can do, rather than a strict step-by-step guide.

For example, you can put sign up/log in step as a first step, then show the currency calculator, and then collect recipient details. Alternatively, you can build it so a user starts from the calculator, then you collect recipient details, and as a last step ask user to sign up/log in.

We have plenty of examples to show you how this has been done by our current parterns and can help you to build a great expereince for your customers.

Building your backend

You should expose an API internally for your web and mobile clients to call to provide the required TransferWise features. Your backend system will manage both communication to the TransferWise API and internal operations such as checking a user has sufficient balance to make the requested transfer and triggering the funds to be sent to TransferWise when they confirm a transfer.

You should also store a copy of certain data relating to TransferWise to decrease latency and increase resiliency when users review previous transfers they made or recipients they sent funds to. The extent of what you store will depend on your integration.

You should also build a polling mechanism to periodically update the status of a transfer and its delivery estimate, keeping your user up to date of where their transfer is in the process.

We have a dedicated team focusing on bank partnerships who will help you along the way, sharing knowledge and experience from previous integrations to help you build a robust and highly available system.

Your TransferWise user experience

User onboarding flow

The user onboarding flow consists of these building blocks.
You need to go through this flow only once for each customer before they can set up their first transfer.

Transfer flow

To create transfers on behalf of users you need these building blocks:

Transfer update polling

To keep your users informed of the status and estimated time of arrival of their transfer:

Get user authorization for existing accounts

At a high level there are three steps to gaining access to an existing TransferWise account.

  1. Your app redirects the user to TransferWise authorization webpage, which prompts them to login if necessary.

    https://api.sandbox.transferwise.tech/oauth/authorize?response_type=code&client_id=<your api client id>&redirect_uri=https://www.yourbank.com

  2. The user logs in to TransferWise
  3. The user agrees to provide access, the TransferWise authorization page then redirects user back to your preconfigured url, including a code you can use to geneate user tokens.

    https://www.yourbank.com/?code=[CODE]

These steps are explained in more detail below.

1. Your banking app redirects user to TransferWise authorization webpage

Your webiste or app opens the folowing url in the user's browser.

https://sandbox.transferwise.tech/oauth/authorize?response_type=code&client_id=<your-api-client-id>&redirect_uri=<redirect-uri>

Replace your-api-client-id and redirect-uri with your specific values. The redirect URL should be the address you want the user to return to after the authorization flow, which will have been preconfigured when you requested your API access tokens. This can be different accross the sandbox and production environements and we can update it for you upon reuqest.

You should not use WebView components to show the authorization page to the users because they are not secure and will not allow users to log in to TransferWise with Google, which is an option used by some of our users. Your app should instead open the device's full browser app.

Please note that the URL for the authorization page in sandbox is different than URL for API calls.
In the live environment the api.transferwise.com URL works for the authorization page as well as API calls.

2. The user logs in to TransferWise

Our usual log in screens are presented to the user if they are not already logged in on the browser being used. If enabled for a user they will also be prompted to go through our two-factor authentication procedure.

3. The user agrees to grant access and we forward them to your redirect_url

Once a user gives your banking app authorization to connect to TransferWise and access their data, the user is redirected back to your redirect_url with a generated code query string value. For example

https://www.yourbank.com/?code=[CODE]

Your website or service can then use this code to obtain the access token to act on behalf of the user account.

If you are building your TransferWise integration as a native mobile phone app then the redirect URL should be able to handle returning the user to the correct place in the app.

At the point you gain access to a user account you should double check it is the one you were expecting to be given access to - sometimes users can get confused and log in to a different account. Together we want to avoid TransferWise accounts being linked to bank accounts of a different person or business, therefore you should check the user's details once the link is created. Currently you should do this sanity check based on the date of birth of the user but are working on a more robust solution. If the DoB exists but doesn't match then you should not allow the link to be made and inform the user we do not think the accounts match and to get in touch with customer service.

Sign up new users via API

If the user doesn't already have a TransferWise account then you can create one for them. The signup with registration code feature lets you create new users directly via an API call, without the need to redirect new users to the TransferWise authorization page. This way new users can complete everything without ever leaving your banking app, making a very streamlined flow.

We can provide this option to banks where we can create a trusted reliance model on your KYC processes. Please discuss this option with the team supporting your integration.

Existing TransferWise users will always need to be redirected to authorization page flow, you can detect this at the point you attempt to create the user based ont he API response.

Note that these new users have to accept TransferWise Terms and Conditions as part of their sign up process nevertheless. See endpoint Terms and conditions.

Get user tokens

If you are using the first option (get user authorization for existing accounts ) then the next step is to generate tokens so you can call API endpoints on behalf of the user who authorized your banking app. You do this using the access code that was returned to you as a query string parameter in the redirect_uri you provided us.

Example Request:

curl \
-u '[your-api-client-id]:[your-api-client-secret]' \
-d 'grant_type=authorization_code' \
-d 'client_id=[your-api-client-id]' \
-d 'code=[code-from-redirect-uri]' \
-d 'redirect_uri=https://www.yourbank.com' \
'https://api.sandbox.transferwise.tech/oauth/token'

You will be returned an access token and a refresh token.

Example Response:

  {
    "access_token":"ba8k9935-62f2-475a-60d8-6g45377b4062",
    "token_type":"bearer",
    "refresh_token":"a235uu9c-9azu-4o28-a1kn-e15500o151cx",
    "expires_in": 43199,
    "scope":"transfers"
  }

For calling API endpoints you need to provide the user's access_token in the request's HTTP header in the format Authorization: Bearer <access_token>. Access tokens are short lived for security reasons, they are only valid for 12 hours by default. When they expire you need to use the refresh_token to generate a new access_token.

This means you have to securely store the user's refresh_token in order to generate a new access_token each time they use your TransferWise integration, or you poll for updated data,

Request

POST https://api.sandbox.transferwise.tech/v1/oauth/token

Use Basic Authentication with your api-client-id/api-client-secret as username/pwd.

Field Description Format
grant_type "authorization_code" Text
client_id your api_client_id Text
code Code provided to you upon redirect back from authorization flow. See step Get user authorization. Text

Response

Field Description Format
access_token Access token to be used when calling API endpoints on behalf of user. Valid for 12 hours. uuid
token_type "bearer" Text
refresh_token Refresh token which you need to use in order to request new access_token. The lifetime of refresh tokens is 10 years. uuid
expires_in Expiry time in seconds Integer
scope "transfers" Text

Refresh user access token

Example Request:

      curl \
      'https://api.sandbox.transferwise.tech/oauth/token' \
      -u '[your-api-client-id]:[your-api-client-secret]' \
      -d 'grant_type=refresh_token' \
      -d 'refresh_token=[user's refresh token]'

Example Response:

  {
    "access_token":"be69d566-971e-4e15-9648-85a486195863",
    "token_type":"bearer",
    "refresh_token":"1d0ec7b9-b569-426d-a18d-8dead5b6a3cc",
    "expires_in":43199,
    "scope":"transfers"
  }

Access tokens are valid for 12 hours, so upon expiry you need to use refresh_token to generate new access_token.

In order to maintain an uninterrupted connection, you can request a new access token whenever it’s close to expiring. There is no need to wait for the actual expiration to happen first.

Request

POST https://api.sandbox.transferwise.tech/v1/oauth/token

Use Basic Authentication with your api-client-id/api-client-secret as username/pwd.

Field Description Format

Response

Field Description Format
access_token Access token to be used when calling API endpoints on behalf of user. Valid for 12 hours. uuid
token_type "bearer" Text
refresh_token Refresh token which you need to use in order to request new access_token once the existing one expires uuid
expires_in Expiry time in seconds Integer
scope "transfers" Text

Token Expiry

It is possible that a user's refresh token will become invalid. This could happen for a number of reasons, for example:

Due to this possibility your application should handle a failing refresh token scenario - to do this depends on how you originally gained access to the user.

1. An existing user granted your application access to the account

If you were granted access by an existing user then you should send the user through the same flow as you initially did to generate tokens described in get user authorization for existing accounts.

2. Your application created the user

In the case you created the user using the sign up new users via API flow then the mechanism for regenerating tokens is dependent on whether the user you created has "reclaimed" their TransferWise account and used our website or apps directly.

If the user has not reclaimed their account then the original registrationCode you generated should still be able to generate new tokens for the user. Because of this you should store this code alongside the created user ID in your database at the point of user generation.

If the previosuly stored token fails with an error code 400 and error:

{
  "error": "invalid_grant",
  "error_description": "Invalid user credentials."
}

In this case you can assume the user has reclaimed the account and push them through the get user authorization for existing accounts flow.

Create personal user profile

When you first get access to a user's TransferWise user account you will cannot predict if they already have submitted their profile data or not.

User Profiles.List endpoint will give you data for both personal and business profiles, if it exists. This makes it easy to figure out if a user has already set up this data with TransferWise or not. If the user already has a personal profile set up, then you can skip this creation step.

If you are using the sign up new users via API feature then you absolutely need to create personal profile for the user, however it is possible you will also need to do it when getting access to an existing user account.

There are three steps to creating a new personal user profile:

1) Create personal user profile – general data. This includes customer name, date of birth, and phone number.

2) Create personal user profile – address data. Once the general profile information has been saved, you also need to add address information to the personal user profile.

3) Create identification document. Adding identification document (Passport, Drivers License etc ) metadata to user profile. This is an optional step depending on the KYC relationship we have with your bank, please contact the team at TransferWise to discuss further.

Create business user profile

A personal profile has to be created first. You can’t create a business user profile without a personal profile.

Creating a business profile is similar to how you created personal profile. There are two steps:

1) Create business user profile – general data

2) Create business user profile – address data

Currently we do not support a fully automated business onboarding flow over the API - this feature is coming soon, please contact the TransferWise team for more details.

Create quote

Please look at Create quote under Full API Reference.

You need to set quote type as "REGULAR".

Create or select recipient account

Please look at Create recipient account under Full API Reference for information on the calls to create recipients.

It is also recommended that you use the GET accounts endpoint to load the user's previously used recipients and allow them to select from them in your user interface. This allows them to only have to create a recipient once and then re-use it in future, plus it allows existing TransferWise users to use their familiar users from our platform.

When returning this list please filter out any recipient of type SwiftCode, unfortunately API limitations mean these cannot be used in bank integrations.

You should store a cached copy of the recipients that are used or created by users of your app such that you can load that data again quickly to show in your app, for example a transfer tracking screen might show recipient data.

Please note, when creating a new transfer always reload the full list of recipients over our API as cannot be certain the recipients you store a copy of have not been deleted in the meantime.

Create transfer

Please look at Create transfer under Full API Reference.

Fund transfer

Once you have successfully created a transfer via the TransferWise API you should debit the exact source amount from your customer's bank account and send the funds to TransferWise’s local bank account via domestic payment. You should send the amount provided in the quote object you created in the first step of the process. The details of this bank account will be shared with you by the TransferWise team helping your integration.

In order for us to link this incoming domestic payment with a corresponding transfer order, we need you to use specific text in the "payment reference" field. Calling endpoint Get pay-in methods with quoteId returns you the correct reference text. e.g. quote-1456477 P5472304. We currently drive this behaviour using the second part of this string, starting with P, you should use a regular expression to extract this string to send as the reference, e.g. .*(P\d+), taking the second group.

Track transfer status

Please look at Track transfer status under TransferWise Payouts Guide.

Edge case handling

This section discusses some edge cases that you should test and handle before going live with your integration.

Email address considerations

Due to how getting access to user accounts works the TransferWise platform relies on user email addresses matching between the bank and ourselves. At the point the bank attempts to create a user we check and see if an account already exists for that email address, if so we retun a 409 response and the client application forwards the user to login to TransferWise to do the OAuth grant flow.

This works well when the email addresses match in the first place and aren't updated on either side after the link is established. Of course, this is not always going to be the case so we must consider what happens in either eventuality.

Non-matching email addresses

If a user already has a TransferWise account and you create a user for the same person under a differnt email address they could end up with a duplicate user account under the second email address. Currently we monitor this behaviour for abuse but we are working on a more robust user creation solution to prevent this occuring.

Email Change

It is possible to change a user’s email address both at TransferWise and potentially also on the bank platform. These flows can cause complications with the integration.

Email changed at TransferWise

If a user changes their email address all tokens to the user account are revoked. In this case the bank will receive a 400 when attempting to generate an access_token and as such should follow the same process as described in the token expiry section above and start the sign up flow from the beginning.

In this case, if the user has changed their email address at TransferWise, it is possible the user will end up with a new TransferWise account using their old email address still held by the bank, or they might link their bank account to a different already existing TransferWise account under the old email address.

Email changed at the bank

In this case the tokens will remain valid for the TransferWise account, however, depending on how the user originally linked the account, different things can happen when/if that token expires.

If the bank created the account originally they will be unable to generate tokens using the registration_code they have as the endpoint requires the email address which will now no longer match. To mitigate this it is recommended that the bank store the email that was originally used for signup alongside the registration code and use this rather than the most up to date email address they store for the user.

If the token expires for a user not created by the bank and the user has a new email address at the bank then they can be pushed through the signup flow with this new email address and either have a new account created or link an existing against the new email, as described in token expiry.

The result of many of these flows is that the user may end up with more than one TransferWise account, which is undesirable. Currently we monitor this behaviour for abuse but we are working on a more robust user creation scenario to prevent this occurring.

Email change mitigation

The result of these eventualities are that over time a user of the bank could be linked to more than one TransferWise account and so therefore you will need to be defensive when requesting older user data as the request may fail because we forbid one user to access other user's data. We recommend to keep a local copy of your user's transfer data and update it asynchronously such that older transfers remain accessible to the user in the case where it can no longerbe accessed. You should also make sure to handle these failing calls gracefully and continue to process transfers that can be accessed over the API.

In the event a user is not happy at losing access to their older data or having two accounts is confusing then we can manually update the email addresses to match for the two accounts they want.

Going live checklist

1. Make your integration bulletproof

2. Set up security for LIVE environment

3. Do some testing in LIVE

Request

GET https://api.sandbox.transferwise.tech/v1/address-requirements
POST https://api.sandbox.transferwise.tech/v1/address-requirements

GET and POST address-requirements endpoints help you to figure out which fields are required to create a valid address for different countries. You could even build a dynamic user interface on top of these endpoints. This is a step-by-step guide on how these endpoints work.

  1. Call GET /v1/address-requirements to get list of fields you need to fill with values in "details" section for creating a valid address. Response contains 4 required top level fields:

    • country (select field with list of values)
    • city (text field)
    • postCode (text field)
    • firstLine (text field)

  2. Analyze the list of fields. Because refreshRequirementsOnChange=true for field 'country' then this indicates that there are additional fields required depending on the selected value.

  3. Call POST /v1/address-requirements with selected country value to expose sub fields.
    For example posting {"details": {"country" : "US"}} will also add "state" to list of fields.
    But posting {"details": {"country" : "GB"}} will not.

  4. If you choose "US" as country you will notice that "state" field also has refreshRequirementsOnChange=true. This means you would need to make another POST call to /v1/address-requirements with a specific state value.
    For example posting {"details": { "country" : "US", "state": "AZ" }} will also add "occupation" to list of fields.
    But posting {"details": { "country" : "US", "state": "AL" }} will not.

  5. So once you get to the point where you have provided values for all fields which have refreshRequirementsOnChange=true then you have complete set of fields to compose a valid request to create an address object. For example this is a valid request to create address in US Arizona:
    POST /v1/addresses:
    { "profile" : your-profile-id,
    "details": {
    "country" : "US",
    "state": "AZ",
    "city": "Phoenix",
    "postCode": "10025",
    "firstLine": "50 Sunflower Ave.",
    "occupation": "software engineer"
    } }

If you don't know recipient bank account details you can set up email recipient so that TransferWise will collect bank details directly from the recipient.

TransferWise will email your recipient with a link to collect their bank account details. Once your recipient provides bank account details securely to TransferWise we are able to complete your transfer.

Request

GET https://api.sandbox.transferwise.tech/v1/quotes/{quoteId}/account-requirements
POST https://api.sandbox.transferwise.tech/v1/quotes/{quoteId}/account-requirements

GET and POST account-requirements endpoints help you to figure out which fields are required to create a valid recipient for different currencies. You can use this to build a dynamic user interface on top of these endpoints. This is a step-by-step guide on how these endpoints work.

1.First create a quote to specify currencies and transfer amounts. See Create.Quote.

2.Call GET /v1/quotes/{quoteId}/account-requirements to get list of fields you need to fill with values in "details" section for creating a valid recipient account.

In order to create "aba" recipient type you need these top level fields:

Some fields require multiple levels of fields in the details request, for example Country followed by State. This should be handled by the client base don the refreshRequirementsOnChange field. In the example above 'address.country' has this field set to true, indicating that there are additional fields required depending on the selected value. To manage this you should create a request with all of the initially requested data and call the POST account-requirements endpoint. You will be returned a response similar the previosuly returned data from GET account-requirements but with additional fields.

3.For example, construct a recipient object with top level fields and call POST /v1/quotes/{quoteId}/account-requirements with these value to expose sub fields.
For example posting US as country will also add "state" to list of fields.

{
    "type": "aba",
    "details": {
      "legalType": "PRIVATE",
      "abartn": "111000025",
      "accountNumber": "12345678",
      "accountType": "CHECKING",
      "address": {
        "country": "US"
      }
    }
}

However, posting GB as country will not add any new fields as GB addresses do not have this extra requirement.

{
    "type": "aba",
    "details": {
      "legalType": "PRIVATE",
      "abartn": "111000025",
      "accountNumber": "12345678",
      "accountType": "CHECKING",
      "address": {
        "country": "US"
      }
    }
}

It is possible that any new fields retuened may also have refreshRequirementsOnChange field set to true. Thereofe you must keep iterating on the partially created details object until POST account-requirements returns you no new fields that it previously didn't include in the response, you can do this by checking the size of the array returned.

4.Once you have built your full reciepient details object you can use it to create a reciepient.

For example this is a valid request to create a recipient with address in US Arizona:
POST /v1/accounts:
{ "profile": your-profile-id, "accountHolderName": "John Smith", "currency": "USD", "type": "aba", "details": { "legalType": "PRIVATE", "abartn": "111000025", "accountNumber": "12345678", "accountType": "CHECKING", "address": { "country": "US", "state": "AZ" "city": "New York", "postCode": "10025", "firstLine": "45 Sunflower Ave" } } }

Avoiding duplicate transfers

We use customerTransactionId field to avoid duplicate transfer requests. When your first call fails (error or timeout) then you should use the same value in customerTransactionId field that you used in the original call when you are submitting a retry message. This way we can treat subsequent retry messages as repeat messages and will not create duplicate transfers to your account.

    Almost every country has their own specific originality when it comes to the nitty gritty details of domestic payment systems and money transfer regulations. Maximum allowed length of reference text is a good example. The US payment system, ACH, supports 10 characters only, but transfers within Mexico allow up to 100 characters and so on.

    Same is true for requirements arising from Anti-Money Laundering regulations adopted in different countries. Transfers from and to USD almost always require more details about source of funds and transfer purpose, compared to transfers to EUR or GBP.

    Endpoint /transfer-requirements exposes all these specific requirements based on specific quote and target recipient account.

    To make sure that processing of your transfers does not get delayed because of missing details, we highly recommend to verify the transfer requirements before before submitting any transfer.

    Request

    POST https://api.sandbox.transferwise.tech/v1/transfer-requirements

    1.Prepare request body to create transfer object first. Now post this request body to transfer-requirements endpoint to figure out if there are any other required fields.

    2.Analyze the returned list of fields. Our example includes reference, sourceOfFunds and transferPurpose fields. Field 'reference' is optional. Fields 'sourceOfFunds' and 'transferPurpose' are required and both have refreshRequirementsOnChange=true which indicates that there could be additional fields required depending on the selected value.

    In our example you will have to POST request to/v1/transfer-requirements` second time as well with values set for 'transferPurpose' and 'sourceOfFunds'. So in case you set sourceOfFunds = 'verification.source.of.funds.other' then another text field called "sourceOfFundsOther" is also required where you need to specify the details in free format.

    3.Once you get to the point where you have provided values for all fields which have refreshRequirementsOnChange=true then you have complete set of fields to compose a valid request to create a transfer object. For example this is a valid request to create a transfer.
    POST /v1/transfers:

    { "targetAccount": , "quote": , "details": { "reference": "good times", "sourceOfFunds": "verification.source.of.funds.other", "sourceOfFundsOther": "Trust funds" }, "customerTransactionId": "6D9188CF-FA59-44C3-87A2-4506CE9C1EA3" }

    Avoiding duplicate transfers

    We use originalTransferId field to avoid duplicate transfer requests. When your first call fails (error or timeout) then you should use the same value in originalTransferId field that you used in the original call when you are submitting a retry message. This way we can treat subsequent retry messages as repeat messages and will not create duplicate transfers to your account.

    This feature is related to Bank Integrations product. It enables onboarding new users to TransferWise via backend API calls only. To get authorization from Transferwise existing users you still need to redirect them to our authorization webpage.

    There are 3 steps you need to go through:

    1) Get Client Credentials Token

    Obtain access_token based on your API client credentials.

    Request

    POST https://api.sandbox.transferwise.tech/oauth/token

    Use Basic Authentication with your api-client-id/api-client-secret as username/pwd and also use the header Content-Type: application/x-www-form-urlencoded.

    Field Description Format
    grant_type "client_credentials" Text

    Response

    Field Description Format
    access_token Access token to be used when calling "create user" endpoint. Valid for 12 hours. uuid
    token_type "bearer" Text
    expires_in Expiry time in seconds Integer
    scope "transfers" Text

    2) Create User

    TransferWise uses email address as unique identifier for users. If email is new (there is no active user already) then new user will be created.

    When you are submitting an email which already exists amongst our users then you will get a warning that "You’re already a member. Please login". If user already exists then you need to redirect to Get user authorization webpage.

    Request

    POST https://api.sandbox.transferwise.tech/v1/user/signup/registration_code

    Use access_token obtained in first step as authentication header.

    Field Description Format
    email New user's email address Email
    registrationCode Randomly generated registration code that is unique to this user. At least 32 characters long.
    You need to store registration code to obtain access token on behalf of this
    newly created user in next step.
    Please apply the same security standards to handling registration code as if it was a password.    		 Text, min length is 32 chars

    Response

    Field Description Format
    id userId Integer

    3) Get User Tokens

    You can now use registration code to obtain user access token and refresh token. This step can be repeated as long as user does not reclaim their TransferWise account. If user has reclaimed the account, then redirect to Get user authorization flow should be used instead.

    Refresh user access token works same way for this flow as well.

    Request

    POST https://api.sandbox.transferwise.tech/oauth/token

    Use Basic Authentication with your api-client-id/api-client-secret as username/pwd.

    Field Description Format
    grant_type "registration_code" Text
    email New user's email address Email
    client_id Your api_client_id Text
    registration_code registrationCode from step 2 Text

    Response

    Field Description Format

          "details": {
            "firstName": "Oliver",
            "lastName": "Wilson",
            "dateOfBirth": "1977-07-01",
            "phoneNumber": "+3725064992"
           }
        }'

    Create personal user profile. Same person cannot have multiple active duplicate user profiles. Thus creating multiple profiles with the same details will fail. Use the access token you received to act on behalf of the user in the Authorization header.
