Ödeme ve Elektronik para işlemleriniz lisanslı bir kuruluş olan ve Türkiye Cumhuriyeti Merkez Bankası ("TCMB") tarafından denetlenen Birleşik Ödeme Hizmetleri ve Elektronik Para A.Ş.'nin finansal hizmet sağlayıcılığı ile gerçekleşmektedir. Diğer yandan, İngiltere ve Galler'de tescilli Wise Payments Limited hizmete yalnızca "aracı" olarak yardımcı olup TCMB ve sair yetkili merciler nezdinde Elektronik Para ve Ödeme Hizmetleri Kuruluşu olarak faaliyet gösterme iznine sahip değildir.

On the other hand, Wise Payments Limited, registered in England and Wales is acting as an "agency" in this service, which has no license to act as an Electronic Money and Payment Services Institution granted by the CBRT, and any other authorized authority.
