When you make a return using Wise Interest, you pay two fees: a Wise fee, also known as the service fee, and a fund manager fee.
The Wise fee
We calculate this fee daily based on the amount you hold and we charge it on the first day of each month.
We’ll always take the service fee from a balance — we don’t charge it to Jars. If you've got a Jar set to Interest, we’ll charge the fee to your balance that’s in the same currency.
If you don’t have enough money in your balance to pay the fee, we’ll take it from another one that does have money in it.

Customers in Singapore won’t currently be charged the Wise fee while the feature is in beta.
The fund manager fee
The fund management fee is charged by the fund manager. It’s automatically reflected in the value of your investment, so you’ll never see it charged to your Wise account.

|---|---|---|
| UK* and selected EEA countries | BlackRock ICS Sterling Government Liquidity Fund Premier Acc (GBP) Managed by BlackRock | 0.10%* |
| BlackRock ICS Euro Government Liquidity Fund Premier Acc T0 (EUR) Managed by BlackRock | 0.10%* | |
| BlackRock ICS US Treasury Fund Premier ACC (USD) Managed by BlackRock | 0.10%* | |
| Singapore** | LionGlobal SGD Money Market Fund Managed by Lion Global Investors Ltd. | 0.25% |
| FTGF Western Asset US Government Liquidity Fund Managed by Franklin Templeton | 0.60% |

An example of how the fees work
If you are a customer in the UK and you invest 1,000 GBP for a year — and the fees stay the same — the total fees spread over the year would be £5.60. This £5.60 is made up of the 0.46% Wise fee (£4.60) and the 0.10% fund manager fee (£1).
The Wise fee is the only fee you’ll actually pay out of your Wise account, though — the fund manager fee is just included in the value of your investment.
