You can send Canadian dollars (CAD) with Wise via online bill pay. Sometimes it’s called bill payments, or OBT. It’s a cheap and convenient way to send CAD.
An OBT can take 1-3 working days to arrive to Wise.
Can I use online bill pay with my bank?
Wise is listed as a bill payee with these banks and credit unions in Canada:
Bank of Montreal
National Bank of Canada
Central 1 Credit Unions*
EQ Bank
CS Alterna Bank
Manulife Bank of Canada
First Calgary Financial
*Many banks are a member of Central 1 Credit Union. If you’re able to add Wise as a bill payee, and your bank is not on this list, then your bank may be a part of Central 1 Credit Union.
To send bill payments from Central 1 Credit Union (or any of its member banks), set the transfer up as a wire with us. Choose Wise as a bill payee in your online banking to send the bill payment — this way our system will be able to receive it.
