Event Summary

Wise updated its Terms of Use on April 16, 2026 with mostly minor administrative changes. The company clarified that its account definition now applies to all customers (removing specific reference to 'business' accounts), updated its section on chargebacks and reversals to include unauthorized transactions and error resolution, corrected a section numbering issue, fixed two spelling changes (dispersed to disbursed), and updated its New York legal office address from 19 W 24th Street to 30 W 26th Street, Floor 6. These changes do not materially alter consumer rights or obligations.

LOW

Consumer Impact

These changes are primarily administrative and do not materially affect your rights, data, or account management. The updated legal mailing address (now 30 W 26th Street, Floor 6, New York, NY 10010) applies only if you need to send legal notices or chargebacks to Wise. The expanded section on 'Reversals, Chargebacks, Unauthorized Transactions and Error Resolution' clarifies that Wise's existing processes for handling these issues now explicitly reference unauthorized transaction disputes alongside chargebacks, but this appears to be a clarification of existing practice rather than a new right or limitation.

Governance Analysis

If you need to send a legal notice or formal dispute to Wise, you must use the updated address (30 W 26th Street, Floor 6, New York, NY 10010). The clarification on unauthorized transactions in the dispute resolution section confirms that Wise's procedures cover not only chargebacks and reversals but also unauthorized transaction claims, which is relevant if you experience fraud or unauthorized account activity.

Key Clauses Affected

Legal Address Update

Wise's mailing address for legal notices and counter-notices changed from 19 W 24th Street to 30 W 26th Street, Floor 6, both in New York, NY 10010.

Reversals and Chargebacks Section Expansion

Section 15 now explicitly includes 'Unauthorized Transactions and Error Resolution' alongside reversals and chargebacks, clarifying the scope of dispute procedures.

Account Definition Clarification

The definition of 'Wise Account' was revised to remove specific reference to 'business' accounts, now describing it as a 'multi-currency account' for all customers.

Institutional Analysis

Assessment

This update is administrative in nature. The primary substantive change is the expansion of Section 15 to explicitly reference 'Unauthorized Transactions' alongside 'Reversals and Chargebacks,' which clarifies but does not materially alter Wise's dispute resolution procedures. The account definition change (removing 'business' designation) and office address update are clerical. No new regulatory obligations appear to be created. Organizations using Wise in their vendor stack should update internal legal contact records to reflect the new address for regulatory correspondence, but compliance obligations remain unchanged.
