How does Wise Business work with Feder?

  • Connect Wise Business to Feder and it joins your Money apps.
  • When you connect Wise Business, Feder checks the connection straight away and shows Connected only when that check passes. If a reading cannot be taken later, Feder shows it as not read, never as zero.

Some numbers are too quiet to judge daily, such as a form filled in a few times a week. Until there is enough of your own history to judge a change, Feder says it is still learning and scores nothing, rather than guessing.

See whether you can trust the numbers in Wise Business, one of your Money apps. Feder only reads. It never changes anything in Wise Business.

Where do these answers come from?
