Wise charges different fees depending on the currency and amount.
You can't see the recipient's IBAN in the bunq app, however, you should be able to get that information when logging into the Wise website/app (using the same login details as for bunq).
The recipient will see Wise as sender of the payment. That's why we highly recommend you to leave a payment description for the recipient.
You're able to see an estimation of the transfer in the bunq app's payment event once you've transferred the funds.
It's not possible to make a Wise payment from a Connect account. This has to do with the limitations on the side of Wise - your personal bunq account is linked to your personal Wise account. Since Wise doesn't offer Connect-like feature on their platform, transfers from your Connect account can't be technically processed.
Topping up your account using Wise can only be done via a bank transfer through a Wise account.
