Piutau, who missed out on the All Blacks squad for the World Cup, signed with Irish side Ulster earlier this year.
However Ulster are not in a position to include him on their roster for this season as their foreign allocation is full.
The 23-year-old utility back, who will join the Pro12 side next July, has signed a one-year deal with Wasps.
Piutau played for Auckland and the Blues and has been capped 17 times for New Zealand.
Ulster announced his signing in April in a surprise move, with Piutau expected to re-sign with the Blues and New Zealand Rugby.
