Extract Amount, Exchange Rate, and Recipient from Any Wise Transfer Screenshot

What You Can Pull from a Wise Transfer Screenshot
A Wise transfer confirmation carries up to five data points across two currencies. With Custom Column Extraction, you name the columns you need — the AI reads each value by its label, not its position on screen.
The gross figure in your funding currency, labeled "You send". What you actually sent before any deduction.
The transparent Wise charge, listed as its own line. Typically 0.33%–0.45% of the transfer amount.
The mid-market rate shown to four to six decimal places — the same interbank rate on Reuters and XE, with zero markup.
The net amount in the destination currency after fee and rate — the only number that actually arrives.
The estimated or confirmed arrival time shown on the confirmation screen.
Four Numbers, One Screen — and Only One Is What Arrived
A single Wise transfer carries more numbers than most payment screens — and knowing which is which is the entire challenge. Users on Reddit consistently report that the fee structure itself is confusing. Traditional OCR dumps every digit into an unlabeled pile.
Four Numbers, Zero Attribution
A Wise confirmation shows you sent, the fee, the rate, and what was received — four values across up to three currencies. Traditional OCR treats all four as unlabeled text: $1,000.00, $7.50, 0.9142, €907.04. Which is which? The machine has no idea.
The Rate Looks Like a Number but Means a Ratio
The rate 0.9142 is easily mistaken for a monetary value by naive extraction. OCR has no concept of "this is a ratio, not an amount." The fee ($7.50) and recipient amount (€907.04) are both dollar-and-cent figures in different currencies. Without reading labels, they are visually interchangeable.
The Recipient Only Sees One Number — You See Four
When a client sends a Wise screenshot as proof of payment, that screen shows all four numbers — but only one (the recipient amount) is what they actually received. Reddit threads about screenshot proof of payment often hinge on exactly this confusion.
AI Reads Labels, Not Coordinates
Define columns named Source Amount, Fee, Exchange Rate, Recipient Amount. The AI reads each label — "You send", "Fee", "Exchange rate", "Recipient gets" — and assigns the value to the matching column. Pixel position is irrelevant; meaning is what drives extraction.
Rate Identified as a Ratio, Not a Value
The AI distinguishes the exchange rate from monetary values by reading semantic context — a decimal next to "Exchange rate" is a conversion ratio, not an amount. It lands in the Exchange Rate column, separate from the fee and recipient amount, even when they appear in the same visual cluster.
Same Columns Across Any Currency Pair
A USD→EUR transfer and a GBP→INR transfer share the same confirmation template. The columns you define for one work for every pair — no per-corridor setup. One spreadsheet row per screenshot, with fee, rate, and recipient amount correctly attributed every time.
From a Single Wise Screenshot to One Spreadsheet Row
If you're logging cross-border payments — for income tracking, contractor payouts, or reconciling invoices against what actually arrived — here's what happens when you drop a Wise transfer screenshot into the tool.
Upload the Screenshot
Upload a Wise transfer confirmation — mobile app or desktop website, active transfer or completed status. The screenshot can show a single-currency corridor (USD→EUR) or a multi-currency transfer that routes through two conversions. The AI reads the screen the same way regardless of which currencies are involved.
Name the Columns
Define your column headers: Source Amount, Fee, Exchange Rate, Recipient Amount, Delivery Date. One set, every currency pair. Add a computed column like Effective Rate (Recipient Amount / Source Amount) if you need the all-in conversion cost — the AI calculates it during extraction.
Export the Row
The output lands as one spreadsheet row — source amount, fee, exchange rate, recipient amount, delivery date — with each value in its own column. Export to Excel or CSV, or push directly into Google Sheets via the add-on. One screenshot, five data points, no manual transcription.
When Wise Screenshot Extraction Works Best — and When It Doesn't
When It Works Best
Completed transfer confirmations. The four-line template provides full values in high-contrast machine text — accuracy up to 99%.
Cross-platform batch processing. Mix Wise with Venmo, PayPal, Zelle and other apps in one batch — same column definitions across all platforms.
Recurring multi-currency tracking. Consolidate every fee and rate into a single spreadsheet across 10+ Wise transfers per month.
When to Be Cautious
"Guaranteed rate" before settlement. The locked rate on an active transfer is shown, but if the transfer was canceled or modified the applied rate may differ. Completed transfers are always reliable.
Multi-corridor intermediate currencies. When Wise routes through an intermediate currency, the screen may show a single effective rate that condenses multiple conversions — verify against the transfer receipt if the route is complex.
Forwarded or compressed screenshots. Messaging app compression reduces accuracy. Spot-check amounts and the exchange rate on chat-forwarded confirmations.
Frequently Asked Questions
Can I extract both the Source Amount and the Recipient Amount from a single Wise screenshot?
Yes. Define columns named Source Amount and Recipient Amount. The AI reads the "You send" label to locate the gross figure in your funding currency and the "Recipient gets" label to find the net amount in the destination currency. Both values land in separate columns — you keep the full picture of what left your account versus what arrived. This is particularly useful for reconciling invoices against actual received amounts across currency pairs.
Does the extracted Exchange Rate include any markup, or is it the mid-market rate?
Wise displays the mid-market rate with zero markup — the same interbank rate banks trade among themselves. The screenshot shows this rate to four to six decimal places, and that is exactly what the AI extracts. The Fee column captures the separate Wise charge as its own line item. This matters because on a bank wire, the markup is buried in the rate — you'd see a weaker rate but no visible fee line. Wise's transparency means both numbers are independently verifiable from the screenshot alone.
Can I batch Wise transfer screenshots with Venmo, PayPal, and Zelle screenshots in the same export?
Yes. Define one set of column names — Amount, Sender, Date — and the AI processes Wise, Venmo, PayPal, Zelle, and Cash App screenshots in a single batch using the same definitions. Wise adds two extra columns (Fee and Exchange Rate) that other payment apps don't populate, but that doesn't break the batch — unfilled columns simply stay blank for rows where the field doesn't exist. Each screenshot becomes one row in the output spreadsheet regardless of platform.
What if the screenshot shows a "guaranteed rate" — does the extraction capture the rate that actually applied?
The AI extracts whatever rate is visible on the screenshot. If the confirmation screen shows a guaranteed rate with an expiry time, that rate is what the AI reads — and for a completed transfer, that guaranteed rate is the rate that applied. The distinction between "guaranteed" and "actual" only matters if the screenshot was taken during the transfer window before settlement. For definitive records, always use a screenshot or PDF receipt from a completed transfer, where the status reads "Completed" and the rate has fully settled.
Can I extract the recipient's details from a Wise screenshot, or just the financial numbers?
The AI extracts whatever fields are visible and labeled on the screen. Standard Wise transfer confirmations show the recipient's name, the destination country, and sometimes the account type (bank account vs Wise balance). Define a Recipient Name column and the AI will return the visible name from the confirmation. Note that Wise does not display full bank account numbers on the confirmation screenshot — only the last few digits may be visible for reference. For full recipient details, Wise's downloadable PDF confirmation or transaction history export is a more comprehensive source.
