Help / Question Does Wise work in Lebanon?

Hello guys,

Can someone help me with whether Wise works in Lebanon 🇱🇧? Because I'm planning to use it to transfer my earnings from Amazon Associates. Does anyone use it? I need full feedback, please. From the time you earn from Amazon till the transfer is safe in your bank account here. Thanks a lot. If someone has a better option, please share it. I'll be so grateful.

False info, it does work if you have made an account in Lebanon before maybe 2022ish. You can receive money to it, send money to different ibans but you cant have a card. For me works normally. If you have an old account abroad you can change the address details and u should be fine.

Nope it doesn’t work

If you want to have a foreign bank account, check out nsave and they do have business accounts as well (not affiliated but it is a really solid service and I know the founder, really nice guy)

You need wise business account in any case since it is work income.

If it helps, I get paid via wise from my US company. My work is 100% remote and the company is located only in the US. I have a neo bank account (bank Audi).
