Refer to Wise's API documentation (opens in a new tab) for more information about the service.

Using API token

To configure this credential, you'll need:

• An API Token: Go to your user menu > Settings > API tokens to generate an API token. Enter the generated API key in your n8n credential. Refer to Getting started with the API (opens in a new tab) for more information.
• Your Environment: Select the environment that best matches your Wise account environment.
  • If you're using a Wise test sandbox account, select Test.
  • Otherwise, select Live.
• Private Key (Optional): For live endpoints requiring Strong Customer Authentication (SCA), generate a public and private key. Enter the private key here. Refer to Add a private key for more information.
  • If you're using a Test environment, you'll only need to enter a Private Key if you've enabled Strong Customer Authentication on the public keys management page (opens in a new tab).

Add a private key

Wise protects some live endpoints and operations with Strong Customer Authentication (SCA). Refer to Strong Customer Authentication & 2FA (opens in a new tab) for details.

If you make a request to an endpoint that requires SCA, Wise returns a 403 Forbidden HTTP status code. The error returned will look like this:

This request requires Strong Customer Authentication (SCA). Please add a key pair to your account and n8n credentials. See https://api-docs.transferwise.com/#strong-customer-authentication-personal-token (opens in a new tab)

To use endpoints requiring SCA, generate an RSA key pair and add the relevant key information to both Wise and n8n:

1. Generate an RSA key pair:

   $ openssl genrsa -out private.pem 2048 
   $ openssl rsa -pubout -in private.pem -out public.pem

2. Add the content of the public key public.pem to your Wise user menu > Settings > API tokens > Manage public keys.

3. Add the content of the private key private.pem in n8n to the Private Key (Optional).

Refer to Personal Token SCA (opens in a new tab) for more information.
