Team you will be working with: Receive Adoption

The receive adoption team is a global product team working to help customers discover and adopt Wise for receiving third party payments. We do this by building new products and features as well as working to reduce the friction our existing customers have receiving into Wise. We are proud to support 8+ local account details and 17+ global account details and support our regional teams to ensure these details are as convenient as possible to our customers. Customers can receive these account details, as well as other payment methods (card, pay with wise, open banking) to create link products, invoices and profile links as well as setting up direct debits or receiving from online marketplaces.
