How to connect your WIO Business account

Before you proceed, be sure to have a valid WIO Business account already, then go to Bank Accounts in the left side menu and follow these steps:

Case 1: I want to create and link a new WIO Account in Wafeq

  • Click on Add Bank Account on the top right
  • Select Link your Wio account from the open window.


Case 2: I have a bank account reserved for WIO inside Wafeq and I want to Link it with my actual WIO Business account

  • Hover over the bank account you want to use as your WIO account. Click the edit icon next to its name
  • Select Link your Wio account from the open window.


In both cases, you will be redirected to WIO's website where you have to sign in with your WIO credentials to authenticate this operation.

Wafeq will never store your credentials for any third-party authentication services

After logging in, you will see a screen summarizing the data that Wafeq will have access to.

WIO's consent page

  • Under Account details, Check all the bank accounts you want Wafeq to have access to for fetching statements.
  • Under Payout consent, check all bank accounts you want Wafeq to use to make payments (like paying your bills). Currently, only bank accounts in AED currency are supported.
  • Click on Allow which will open the OTP Verification page. Check your phone, and enter the OTP.

This integration will create a WIO account for each of the checked accounts under Account Details. Only accounts under the Payout consent can be used to pay bills.

You will be redirected back to Wafeq's Bank Accounts page. Your WIO connection to Wafeq is now ready.
