Using TransferWise for SEPA Direct Debit

This How To article helps you to set up a TransferWise Multi-Currency Account that you can use to enable CHANCEN to collect money from you via SEPA Direct Debit.

  • TransferWise is available in most countries and does not require a European residency in order to be able to get European bank details.
  • Besides that, you are able to convert money from nearly any currency into Euro at very fair rates.

If you use this link to create a TransferWise Account, CHANCEN gets a commission. However, we only recommend TransferWise because they are the easiest and cheapest option known to us to get a SEPA direct debit bank account with a balance in Euro if you live abroad.
