The vendor doesn't need Wise. I've been onto my Wise account and it can send to First Caribbean using SWIFT/BIC code: FCIBVGVG . Wish Wise had been around when I lived in the BVI! Anyway, here's the specific instructions for next time you need them...

CIBC FirstCaribbean International Bank in the British Virgin Islands (BVI) does not use IBANs for wire transfers; instead, they use a specific SWIFT/BIC code: FCIBVGVG. International transfers require this SWIFT code along with the beneficiary's full account number and name.

Key Wire Transfer Information:
SWIFT/BIC Code: FCIBVGVG
Bank Name: CIBC Caribbean Bank (Cayman) Limited, British Virgin Islands
Address: Wickham's Cay I, Road Town, Tortola
Note: IBAN is not typically used for domestic or incoming international transfers in the BVI.

For international, transfers, you should provide the sender with your full account number, the bank's Swift code, and your exact name and address.
