To manage certain aspects of the 3D Secure (3DS) authentication, you will need to integrate with the following APIs.
Wise Platform API
The Wise Platform API is a REST-based interface that enables programmatic access to Wise's payment infrastructure. All endpoints return JSON-formatted responses and use standard HTTP methods and status codes.

Additional Customer Verification
In certain situations, additional evidence is required to verify customers and ensure we’re compliant with the KYC regulations.
Additional Verification APIs support a list of evidences that can be found in the Supported Evidences guide.
If you use the Customer Account with Partner KYC model and your customers are primarily based in the EU, refer to this Onboarding EU customers guide for instructions on how to use these APIs.
If you use the Customer Account with Partner KYC model and you are onboarding high risk business customers based primarily based in the US, refer to this Onboarding High Risk US Businesses guide for instructions on how to use these APIs.
Operations
Balance
Create and manage balance accounts within a multi-currency account.
Each profile can hold multiple balance accounts in different currencies. A STANDARD balance is limited to one per currency, while SAVINGS balances (Jars) allow multiple in the same currency. Creating the first balance for a profile automatically creates the multi-currency account.
Balances include an investmentState field. Only balances with NOT_INVESTED can be operated on via the API. Invested balances should be shown but not actionable.
For a complete guide on multi-currency accounts, see Multi-Currency Accounts.
