Content creators who want to offer exclusive content for their fans choose OnlyFans as the best platform to express themselves. If you’re a fan and want to pay for a subscription or any type of content, you can only use specific payment methods, and Wise appears to fit the bill. Since a credit or debit card is required when registering, you can use a Wise physical or virtual card to make payments, preventing transactions from appearing on your bank statement. 

If you have a Wise account and wonder how to use it to pay for OnlyFans, here is some information that will come in handy. 

Wise
