Wise Bulk Payouts

Wise Batch Payments lets you pay multiple affiliates worldwide with low fees and competitive exchange rates. This guide walks you through exporting payouts from Affonso and processing them through Wise.

Before You Start

Prerequisites

1. Pending payouts in Affonso — Payouts are either generated automatically based on your program settings, or you can manually generate payouts for custom date ranges.

2. Wise Business account — Batch payments are only available for Wise Business accounts. Sign up for Wise Business if you haven't already.

3. Sufficient balance — Ensure you have enough funds in your Wise account or are ready to transfer the required amount.

Step 1: Export Wise Payouts from Affonso

1. Go to your Payments dashboard
2. Select the Pending tab to view all open payouts
3. Click Export and choose Wise
4. A CSV file will download containing all affiliates who have Wise as their preferred payment method

The exported file is formatted for direct upload to Wise Batch Payments.

Step 2: Upload to Wise Batch Payments

1. Log in to your Wise Business account
2. From the Payments menu, select Batch
3. Or go directly to wise.com/batch
4. Upload your CSV file from Affonso
5. Review all transfers in your batch

Step 3: Pay for Your Batch

You can pay for your batch in two ways:

Option A: Pay from Your Wise Account

1. Choose Your account as the payment method on the final step
2. The funds will be deducted directly from your Wise balance

Option B: Pay by Bank Transfer

1. Wise will provide:
   • The full amount to send
   • Bank details for the transfer
   • A unique payment reference (starts with B-)
2. Send the bank transfer using the exact amount and reference
3. Click I have paid to confirm
4. Wise will process payments once funds are received

Important: Always use your unique batch payment reference (B-ref) when sending money by bank transfer — this helps Wise complete your transfers faster.

Step 4: Track Your Transfers

Once paid, you can track all transfers in real time from your Wise account dashboard. Each recipient will receive their payment according to Wise's standard delivery times.

Step 5: Mark Payouts as Paid in Affonso

After your batch is processed:

1. Return to your Payments dashboard in Affonso
2. Select the payouts you just processed
3. Mark them as Paid

This updates your records and shows affiliates that their payment has been sent.

Wise Fees

Wise charges a fee for each transfer in your batch. The total fee is displayed before you confirm the payment. Key points:

• Fees vary by currency and destination country
• Check Wise's pricing page for current rates
• If you've accepted a Guaranteed Rate, ensure payment is sent before it expires — otherwise payments will use the live exchange rate

Benefits of Wise for Affiliate Payouts

• Low fees: Often significantly cheaper than PayPal or bank wires
• Great exchange rates: Mid-market rates with transparent fees
• Global reach: Send to 80+ countries
• Fast delivery: Most transfers arrive within 1-2 business days
