It is all from my personal experience (not stripe) and i am not endorsing any service or anything
I have read many posts looking for ways to have wise account or to buy one so here's an easy guide on how to make it I have made few personally so it works
Requirements for a UK LLC:
- Address: You can get a virtual address from many online services.
- UK Phone Number: Use VYKE to get a UK number for $6 for 3 months.
Step 1: Form a UK LLC Company
- Register through Companies House: The registration cost has increased from £12 to £50.
- Requirements:
- Address: Get a virtual address with mail forwarding services. I used IconOffices. Avoid UKPostOffice.
- UK Phone Number: Use VYKE to get a UK number for $6 for 3 months.
- Approval:
- After submitting the application, you will receive company approval via email in 2 days.
- Within 10-40 days, you will receive your UTR code at your registered address. IconOffice will provide you with a scanned copy.
Step 2: Create a Dummy Website
This is not necessary for Wise but is needed for Stripe.Step 3: Create a Wise Business Account
- Setup: Once your company is set up, go to Wise and create a business account using your UK company details. Pay the fees.
- Debit Card: Request a debit card or use Wise’s virtual card.
Step 4: Sign Up on Stripe
- Use your company details and Wise account to sign up on Stripe.
- Website: You must have a website to get approved by Stripe.
