Cool! How did you transfer IDR from Wise to your Gopay or OVO account?

I think i just selected ewallet, and then selected gopay/ovo, entered phone number.

The first problem is that in OVO you need a Premier account. For which you need to provide ID, have an Indonesian telephone number, etc.

Then a transfer (back) to a bank account is possible. But you need to selecte a bank name and I’m not sure if Wise is in that list. (It’s not so easy as entering an account number and BIC here.)

I have premier account. Wise is not on the bank list. Though, wise is shown as some other local bank name in another country.

So then you’re a bit stuck. Hopefully you can use the Indonesian bank account of a friend or relative?

Yes if i dont find a easy workaround in the system.

What makes it complicated is that same capability is supported in some other countries. Unfortunately, Wise documentation is pretty weak on what they don't support in a specific country, and their support is virtually non-existent.

Appreciate the help!
