Our latest updates from Q4

Your money moving at full speed

We’ve gotten your money where it needs to go, when it needs to be there, with 65%¹ of transfers arriving in under 20 seconds. That’s up from 63% in Q3. Our new direct connection to InstaPay in the Philippines allows you to send amounts under 50,000 Philippine pesos from 28 currencies instantly.

Payment transparency around the globe

Sending money around the world should be fair and transparent, but many countries aren’t keeping up. Our G20 report highlights where change is happening — like in Brazil and the UK as they open payment systems to non-banks. See where your country stands.

Digital cards just got a new look

Juggling multiple digital cards can get confusing. So we’ve introduced new colours to make it easier to tell them apart. Use one for your daily spending, one for subscriptions and one for travel — or anything else.

Save time with smarter transfers

When you send to the same recipient, we’ll suggest up to 3 previous references to save you time. If you try to send the same amount to the same recipient within 24 hours, we’ll flag it to help you avoid accidental duplicates.

Stay safe with new checks

To protect against impersonation scams, you can now verify if you're on the phone with a Wise agent when you're about to send money.

Receive 5 more currencies to your euro balance

You can now receive British pounds, Japanese yen, US, Australian, and Canadian dollars internationally with SWIFT. No need to convert it, simply share your EUR account details to start receiving.

A smoother start with Wise

New to Wise? Getting started is easier than ever. Open the app and we’ll guide you through what you can do — whether it’s spending, receiving money, setting up your account or more. For first-time senders, tap “Get help” to see a list of steps and access dedicated support for transfers over 80,000 GBP.



Olá businesses in Brazil

Wise Business is now in Brazil. Whether you’re a freelancer in Rio or a consultant in São Paulo, you can get paid in 18+ currencies, hold and manage money, and spend with Brazil’s first multi-currency debit card, no hidden fees and a 1.1% IOF. Top up anytime with Pix, 24/7.

Simpler settings for your business account

Your personal and business account settings are now clearly split, and key features are easier to access, making account management more straightforward.

Prioritising your peace of mind

Smarter scam warnings flag anything unusual, like details about your recipient or transfer amount, and give you tailored advice to stay protected. Sensitive features, like checking your PIN, are backed by Face ID.

For extra security, Apple, Google, or Facebook requires a password, because your money should always stay yours.

Convenience you can count on

24/7 English customer support, so you can chat or call us anytime you need help.

Sending money from Jars is easier — no need to move it to your balance first.

Sending got smarter, you can set the amount your recipient receives in the final currency while we handle the rest.

Staying transparent

We consistently lowered our fees in 2024, saving our customers £1.6 billion². Now you can see estimates on how much you’ve saved with Wise compared to other providers in your account summary.

Setting up transfers is clearer than ever. Before, you had to enter all your details to see fees and delivery times. Now, pick your recipient first, and we’ll show accurate fees and delivery times upfront.

Receive 19 more currencies with Swift

You can now receive in 23 currencies directly to your GBP Swift account details, up from just 4. This includes AED, AUD, CNY, ZAR, SGD and more.

Getting paid got easier

Wise Business

We introduced Invoices and Quick Pay, allowing businesses to send free, professional invoices, and use a Quick Pay link or QR code to get paid anytime. It’s even better when your customers are on Wise too. They can pay you instantly and you both save on fees — a win-win all round.

Partnering up for easier global payments

Wise Platform

In 2024, we teamed up with Mox Bank, Tiger Brokers, MOIN, Nubank, Swan, T2P, Qonto, and AbbeyCross to bring easier payment solutions to their customers. By integrating Wise into their platforms, we’re helping them offer transparent, low fees, faster transfers, and the ability to send and receive in more currencies.

Since October, we’ve added four more partnerships. With Travelex Confidence, customers can now hold and spend in currencies like USD, EUR, and JPY using a digital debit card, all within their app.

In France, we partnered with Shine to help small and midsized businesses and freelancers make fast, low-cost payments in 10 currencies around the world.

Teaming up with Standard Chartered, we helped enhance SC Remit, enabling faster, cheaper transfers in 21 currencies across Asia and the Middle East, with more markets and currencies to come.

To complete the year, we partnered with Morgan Stanley to power fast, low-cost cross-border settlements for their corporate clients, making them the first investment bank to use Wise’s global payments infrastructure.
