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.

What this means for you

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.

Key Clauses Affected

financial limits clause

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.
