Wise (formerly TransferWise) is a global money transfer and multi-currency account platform, publicly listed on the London Stock Exchange.
Wise maintains strong customer satisfaction (4.6/5 across 2.4M ratings) and dominates headlines with growth momentum—25% revenue expansion, 12M users, and reaffirmed guidance. However, sentiment softened week-over-week (-5.2 points to 65/100), suggesting media enthusiasm hasn't fully translated to sustained positive momentum. The divergence hints cautious investor appetite despite operational acceleration.

Frequently asked questions
Is Wise safe for large transfers?
Wise is FCA-regulated. Customer funds are held in segregated accounts at partner banks (Barclays, JPMorgan, Citi) — kept separate from Wise's own funds and protected even in the unlikely event of Wise's insolvency.
What are Wise's fees for international transfers?
Wise charges a transparent fee: a percentage component (typically 0.35–3% by currency) plus a small fixed fee. GBP→EUR is around 0.43%. The mid-market rate is used with no hidden spread — typically 3–8x cheaper than a traditional bank.
What is a Wise Account and how does multi-currency work?
A Wise Account lets you hold money in 50+ currencies with local account details (EUR IBAN, USD routing, GBP sort code). You can share these as your own bank details and receive local bank transfers at no extra charge.
Is Wise suitable for businesses?
Yes, Wise Business offers multi-currency accounts, batch payments via CSV, Xero/QuickBooks integrations and employee debit cards. No monthly fee — you pay only for outgoing transfers.
How long do Wise transfers take?
50%+ of transfers arrive within seconds (Faster Payments, SEPA Instant). Standard transfers take 1–2 business days. Exotic currencies may take up to 3 days depending on the pair and recipient bank.
