Available with limits. As of 16 December 2025, Wise holds a Brazil licence and offers a Wise Business account to a business registered in Brazil with a CNPJ, holding more than 40 currencies including the Brazilian real with an integrated international Visa debit card. Onboarding is currently limited to a sole owner who holds 100 percent of the company and matches the personal account holder, and Wise notes you cannot send money to or from the Brazilian real for business accounts.

Does Wise Business serve business customers in Brazil?

Yes, with limits. Wise holds a licence in Brazil and offers a Wise Business account to companies registered in Brazil, which it describes as the first business account in Brazil to offer more than 40 currencies and to include an integrated international Visa debit card. To open the account a Brazil registered business provides its name, address, CNPJ, activities and income. Wise notes that it can currently onboard a Brazilian business only where the owner of the company is the same person as the personal Wise account holder, with a single owner holding 100 percent of the company. You can hold the Brazilian real in the account, but Wise notes you cannot send money to or from the Brazilian real for business accounts, so it works as a multi currency account for international use alongside local Brazilian banking. As of 16 December 2025, confirm the current onboarding rules and limits with Wise.

Eligibility for businesses in Brazil

Wise asks a Brazil registered business for its name, address, CNPJ, activities and income, and runs identity and compliance checks. Its current onboarding for a Brazilian business is limited to companies with a single owner who holds 100 percent of the company, where that owner is the same person as the personal Wise account holder, so businesses with more than one owner may not yet be accepted. Eligibility and these onboarding rules can change, so confirm the current position with Wise before applying. Wise provides a multi currency account rather than a full local Brazilian current account for all domestic banking. Verify with the provider

What it costs locally

Wise charges a one time setup fee of R$250 for the Brazil business account, which it says includes one physical card and up to five digital cards. Beyond that, Wise applies transfer and conversion fees per transaction based on the currencies and amounts, rather than a fixed monthly account fee. As of 16 December 2025, confirm the current setup fee and the live fees for your currency pairs with Wise. As of 16 December 2025

What local users report

Wise markets the Brazil business account at microbusinesses and companies that need to hold and use foreign currencies, and users commonly value the multi currency balances and the international debit card. The noted limits, a single owner onboarding rule and the inability to send to or from the Brazilian real for business accounts, shape how the account is used. As of 16 December 2025, confirm the current rates, limits and onboarding rules with the provider before relying on them.
