Businesses, don’t miss out on scan-to-pay invoicing and new improvements to Groups and batch payments.

Built for everyday. Made for everywhere

A new look for your account, making it simpler to manage your money worldwide. For individuals and businesses.

What's new?

No need for multiple accounts to keep track of your money. See the currencies you use most, seamlessly swipe to your jars, and manage it all in one place.
Get paid how you like, wherever you are. Add a USD routing number, GBP sort code, EUR IBAN and more in one click. With them you can get paid fast without the costly conversion charges¹. It means you can get paid like a local — free from costly currency conversion fees and days (and days) of waiting.
Your money, working for you. Help grow your money by turning on Interest. Send and spend from your invested money whenever you need².

Capital at risk. Growth not guaranteed.

Keeping more of what’s yours

Your average fees stayed consistently low at 0.53%³. The 16 million people moving and managing money with Wise makes it easier for us to keep prices as low as we can go.

Send the money from your online banking
Say goodbye to sky-high ATM fees. With Wise, withdrawing cash is now cheaper and smarter. There’s even better news for everyone in the UK, EU, Australia, New Zealand, the US, and the Philippines. You can now take out more money before any fees kick in, with no limits on how often you can withdraw. For crystal-clear cost before you tap, head to the ‘Cards’ tab in your Wise app and check your local limits.

Your money keeps moving at full speed

Wise customers moved £36 billion around the world since January. 75%⁴ of those transfers arrived in under 20 seconds, and 96% within 24 hours.

  • More of your PLN transfers arrive instantly since we’ve improved connections with local payment systems in Poland.

  • Chile, Kenya and Pakistan routes are improving too — so you can count on more accurate transfer times.

The card that grows with them

Meet Young Explorer⁵. It’s everything you love about Wise as a first card for your child. Connected to your account, your child can spend and learn real world money habits while you stay in control.
Heading off on holiday? Kids have their first school trip abroad? Top up for their shopping and (just one more) treat whenever they need it, in the right currency.
Choose daily or monthly limits to keep spending on track, while they learn how to manage an allowance of their own.
See every payment in your app, as it happens, for full peace of mind. In the UK and Switzerland, kids can even see their own balance in a child-friendly app.

Upgrade your airport experience in a few simple taps

Leave the chaos of the terminal behind and treat yourself to premium airport time. You can now access 1,400+ airport lounges worldwide, directly in the Wise app — no memberships, no hidden fees.

Plus, you can bring your loved ones along to kick off your holiday the right way. Find Airport Lounge Access in the Travel Hub under the ‘Card’ tab. Just pay when you use it and get a refund within 14 days if your plans change⁶.

Swift money moves with SWIFT

For max speed and low fees, we usually send your money through local routes using our network. If that’s not possible, we use SWIFT the global system banks use to move money around the world.

We’ve expanded the smart way to send money over SWIFT to more countries and currencies. Keep reading to see the latest improvements.

Your USD reaches further

Whether you’re buying a house overseas or supporting family abroad, you can send US dollars — without converting them first — to 18 new countries, including Brazil, Egypt, and Colombia.
Send the money from your online banking

More currencies, more choice

Sawasdee Thailand

Canada, help grow your money with Interest

If you’re in Canada, you can now help grow your CAD, USD, EUR and GBP with a few simple taps⁷. Plus, your money is never locked away. You can send and spend like normal while earning potential gains.

Prove your UK residency with less paperwork

If you’re in the UK, you can now provide a share code to verify your right to reside in the UK. No more pdfs and screenshots to scan, making registration even faster.

An easier way to pay your Estonian bills

When you send money to a business or the government, you can now add a Viitenumber directly in Wise. That means faster, easier and perfectly matched transfers, every time.

Wise IRL

Our mission, showing up near you

For the first time ever, we brought Wise offline and onto Oxford Street for two weeks. Customers visited our immersive space to try the Current Account² for themselves and get real time answers from support staff. Plus, attendees took home a few limited edition Wise freebies that painted central London green.

Zeca’s on the move

In Brazil, we launched a major campaign with a household name: Zeca Pagodinho. Zeca is the award-winning singer to shout about the smart way to manage your international money. Running on tvs and billboards across the country, Zeca shows just how easy it can be to go from Brazil to the world with Wise.

Wise Business

Building better ways to manage your money, so you can focus on building your business.

Download your statements on iOS

You can now download your statements straight from the iOS app — that includes BRL income statements, US tax statements, Assets tax statements, audit statements and balance statements.
Send the money from your online banking

Your bills — you send them, we’ll scan them

Don’t waste time typing out bank details. Simply forward your bills and invoices to the dedicated email in your Payments tab. We’ll scan the details and automatically create a draft payment for you. Then just head to Wise to double check the payment before hitting send.

Invoicing updates

You can now save your customer’s details when you create an invoice. So next time, there’s no need to re-enter everything. You can also let them pay invoices with Apple Pay or Google Pay. And whether you’re on iPhone or Android, creating invoices in the Wise app is now quicker and easier too.

Connect to your accounting apps, faster

It’s now easier to find and connect the apps you use to run your business. You can browse what’s available in your region, see what you’re already connected to and manage everything in one place.

We’ve also added new accounting integrations, including Twinfield in the Netherlands and Exact Online in France.

Batch payments with less back and forth

Add ‘transfer purpose’ into your .CSV files to simplify the batch payment set up process. You can also now select to pay from Groups, in addition to the main account, giving you more flexibility when sending in bulk.

Secure team spending

Allow employees the access to do more, without the worry. Enable team members to send payments while restricting their ability to edit recipients.

More ways to manage your money in Groups

Groups allow you to separate and organise your money, and control which team members have access to view, send and spend that money.

Help grow your money in your Groups

Businesses in the UK, EEA, Singapore, Canada and Australia can help grow the money invested in Groups with Wise Assets². Instead of sitting idle, your currencies can start working for your business — helping you get more for your money as you scale.

Capital at risk. Growth not guaranteed.

Spend from specific budgets

All business customers can also order a physical card for a Group, not just your main account. So your team can spend from specific budgets, without touching your main currencies.

Big impact, even behind the scenes.

Wise Platform

We’re expanding the way banks and platforms bring faster, lower-cost international payments to their customers. And since January, we partnered with Capitec in South Africa, reaching over 25 million people with a simpler way to send money across borders.

We’ve made it easier for our partner banks and platforms to get started with Wise — with new tools like our Partner Portal and improved onboarding.

And once they’re live, their customers benefit too. With instant PayNow top-ups in Singapore, plus better tracking and faster investigations, international payments are becoming more reliable day to day.

Through events like Wise Connect, we’re working with banks and fintechs to raise the bar for what modern money movement should look like — faster, simpler, and built around customer needs.
