We’re not able to serve customers in Russia at the moment. This means that you won’t be able to open a Wise account if your address is in Russia or you are located there.
Why is this happening?
The impact of ongoing sanctions and recent developments in the region mean it’s difficult to operate in Russia. So, we need to suspend new accounts for customers in Russia. We know this is a difficult situation, and we’re sorry.
Verification for new customers with an address outside of Russia
We’re not able to service customers in Russia at the moment, however, if you are a Russian national and have a valid address outside of Russia, you should be able to use our services.
What document do I need to get verified?
The only acceptable document is the Russian International passport.
