Wise Platform Sandbox
Payments Dev Free key (no card)

About
Wise's Platform API lets developers create quotes, recipients, and international transfers, and the sandbox environment lets you test everything with fake money. You can use it to prototype a payout feature that sends money abroad, to test multi-currency balance logic, or to learn how OAuth-based payment APIs handle authentication and webhooks. The sandbox is free and uses the same endpoints as production, so code you test there transfers over when you go live.
