POST https://api.sandbox.transferwise.tech/v2/quotes

Is currency route supported?

If we don't support a route then this endpoint will respond with an error code "error.route.not.supported".

How much does a transfer cost?

The Wise fee is included in the response.

How long does my transfer take?

Estimated delivery time is included in the response. This can vary quite a lot for different currency routes. For example transfers often only take a few hours from EUR to GBP, while sending money from USD can take 1-2 business days. This endpoint allows you to find out the estimated delivery time for each currency route.

The quote resource defines the basic information required for a Wise transfer - the currencies to send between, the amount to send and the profile who is sending the money. The profile must be included when creating a quote.

Quote is one of the required resources to create a transfer, along with the recipient who is to receive the funds.

The quote response contains other information such as the exchange rate, the estimated delivery time and the methods the user can pay for the transfer. Not all of this information may apply to your use case.

Upon creating a quote the current mid-market exchange rate is locked and will be used for the transfer that is created from the quote. The rate will be locked for 30 minutes to give a user time to complete the transfer creation flow.

Request

POST https://api.sandbox.transferwise.tech/v3/profiles/{profileId}/quotes

Field Description Format
profileId Personal or business profile id of the sender - required. Integer
sourceCurrency Source (sending) currency code. Text
targetCurrency Target (receiving) currency code. Text
targetAmount Amount in target currency. Decimal
sourceAmount Amount in source currency.
Either sourceAmount or targetAmount is required, never both.
Decimal
targetAccount Optional. If provided can be used as an alternative to updating the quote. Integer
payOut Optional. Preferred payout method. Default value is BANK_TRANSFER. Other possible values are BALANCE, SWIFT, SWIFT_OUR and INTERAC. Text
preferredPayIn Optional. Preferred payin method. Use BANK_TRANSFER to return this method at the top of the response's results. Text

Note - When SWIFT_OUR is set as payOut value, it enables payment protection for swift recipients for global currency transfers. By using this payOut method, you can guarantee your customers that the fee will be charged to the sender and can ensure that the recipient gets the complete target amount.

Response

The following describes the fields of the quote response that may be useful when building your integration.

The payOut field is used to select the correct entry in the paymentOptions array in order to know which fees to display to your customer. Find the paymentOption that matches the payOut field shown at the top level of the quote resource and payIn based on the settlement model the bank is using. By default this is BANK_TRANSFER, unless you are using a prefunded or bulk settlement model. The payOut field will change based on the type of recipient you add to the quote in the PATCH /quote call, for example to-USD swift_code or to-CAD interac have different fees.

For example sending USD to a country other than the United States is supported but with different fees to domestic USD transfers. Please see the later section on Global Currencies to learn more about how to offer this useful feature.

For each paymentOption there is a price field. It gives a full breakdown of all the taxes, fees and discounts. It is preferable to refer to this structure to show breakdowns and totals, rather than the fee structre, found as well in each paymentOption element, that only gives a summary and is not able to surface important specifics such as taxes.

When showing the price of a transfer always show the 'price.total.value.amount' of a payment option.

Disabled Payment Options

Each payment option is either enabled or disabled based on the disabled value. Disabled payment options should be shown to the user in a disabled state in most cases. This ensures users are given the options that they are familiar with regardless of their availability, as well as with options that can be beneficial to their accounts.

The option.disabledReason contains both the code and message, with the message being the user-friendly text to surface to the user if necessary.

The option.estimatedDeliveryDelays contains the reason of the delay in a string format.

You should update a quote using a PATCH call to add a recipient. This will update the saved quote's data based on who and where the money will be sent to.

Updating the quote with a recipient may cause the available payment options, prices and estimated delivery times to change from the original quoted amounts. This is due to the fact that sending some currencies to some destinations costs a different amount based on the payment networks we use, for example sending USD to a country outside the USA uses international rather than domestic payment networks and as such costs more, or sending CAD over the Interac network is a more expensive operation.

When updating a quote the payOut field may change to denote the payment option you should select when sending to this recipient. For example sending USD to a swift_code recipient or CAD to an interac recipient with change payOut to SWIFT or INTERAC respectively. This field defaults to BANK_TRANSFER so it can be used in all cases to help select the correct paymentOption and hence show the correct pricing to users.

If you want to provide more transparency in terms of fees charged when your customers create quote with swift recipient for global currencies, you might consider to set payOut field with SWIFT_OUR value. This will ensure that the recipient receives complete target amount.

In this case, where pricing changes after a user selects recipient, you should show a message to your customer before confirming the transfer. Please see the section on Global Currencies to learn more how and why this works and the messaging you need to display.

Get quote info by id.

Request

GET https://api.sandbox.transferwise.tech/v3/profiles/{profileId}/quotes/{quoteId}

Get Temporary Quote

Use this endpoint to get example quotes for people to see the exchange rate and fees Wise offers before a user has created or linked an account. This can drive a version of the quote screen that shows the user what Wise offers before they sign up. Note that this endpoint does not require a token to create the resource, however, since it is just an example, the returned quote has no ID so can't be used later to create a transfer.

In order to get an accurate partner fee, we require a client credentials token to be provided. If you are a partner and would like your fee to be included in the quote returned, you must provide your auth token. If not, you do not require the Authorization header.

Example Request:

curl -X POST \
  https://api.transferwise.com/v3/quotes/ \
