Is my money safe with Wise Business?

In the UK, Wise is licensed as an electronic money institution. We safeguard the money you hold in your Wise account, meaning that unlike banks, Wise does not lend out customer money.

We hold different regulatory permissions in various countries that enable us to provide our services. How we safeguard your money may vary by country according to the different regulations. Learn more about how Wise safeguards UK customer funds and EEA customer funds.

Where is my money held?

Wise uses two approaches to safeguard funds. We deposit funds at banking institutions and invest them in government backed liquid assets, primarily government bonds.

At Wise, we believe in transparency. That’s why it’s important for you to know where customer funds are held. See our article here for a full list of how Wise safeguards UK customer funds.

How do Interest Assets work?

  • GBP (3.61%)
