Wise updated its Terms of Use on May 1, 2026, making two minor changes. The document's version number changed from 1.1 to 1.2, and one sentence about financial limits was slightly revised to remove the phrase 'or other reasons,' now stating limits may apply 'for legal and security reasons' only. This is a clarification that narrows the stated basis for imposing financial limits on your account.
The updated terms now specify that financial limits on your account and payment methods can be imposed only 'for legal and security reasons,' removing vague language that previously allowed limits 'for other reasons.' This change makes the company's authority more transparent and potentially narrower, though the terms still permit limits when the company asserts legal or security justifications apply.
The updated terms eliminate vague discretionary language that previously allowed the company to impose financial limits on unspecified grounds. While 'legal and security reasons' remain broad categories, removing the catch-all makes the company's stated authority more transparent and potentially more constrained.
Removed 'or other reasons' from the justification for imposing limits on payment methods and account balances, narrowing stated grounds to legal and security reasons only.
This change record describes what was added, removed, or modified in the document. Analysis reflects what the updated agreement states or permits. It does not constitute a legal determination about enforceability. Applicability may vary by jurisdiction. Methodology
Wise narrowed the stated justification for imposing account financial limits from 'legal, security, or other reasons' to 'legal and security reasons' only. This is a clarification that removes discretionary language. The change does not appear to trigger new regulatory obligations but may affect how the company documents the basis for account actions internally. No active review is necessary unless the organization has contractual obligations to monitor Wise policy changes.
