Wise is a financial technology company that helps people and businesses send money across borders. Its main product is an international money transfer service that converts currencies at the real mid-market exchange rate, which is typically cheaper than what traditional banks charge. Wise also offers multi-currency accounts, debit cards, and business payment tools, serving millions of individual customers and small businesses worldwide.

Wise makes money by charging small fees on each transfer or currency conversion, rather than hiding costs in inflated exchange rates. The company operates in over 160 countries and is headquartered in London, with its shares listed in the UK. Its competitive edge comes from its proprietary payment infrastructure, which routes money through local banking networks to reduce costs and speed up transfers. The main growth driver is continued expansion of its business banking products and deeper penetration in high-volume corridors like the US, Europe, and Asia, while its main risk is increasing competition from banks and other fintech companies offering similar low-cost transfer services.
