TransferWise
Technical details about how we implement TransferWise and how to get started developing with it.
TransferWise integration can be used to automate expense payment as a way to provide one-click wire transfer for expenses.

Strong Customer Authentication

In order to create a new TRANSFERWISE_PRIVATE_KEY you'll need to generate a new key pair:
1
openssl genrsa -out private.pem 2048
2
openssl rsa -pubout -in private.pem -out public.pem
Copied!
After that, you can encode the private key using base64 and save it as an environment variable:
1
TRANSFERWISE_PRIVATE_KEY=$(cat private.pem | base64 -w 0)
Copied!
