Summary

This document sets the rules for using Wise's personal money transfer and account services. It makes your transactions final once you request them, limits when you can dispute a charge, and requires you to resolve disagreements with Wise through arbitration rather than in court — though you have 21 days to reject that arbitration requirement in writing. Money you keep with Wise is not covered by FDIC or other deposit insurance.

Analysis

This Agreement establishes the terms under which customers may access Wise's Services, restricting use to personal purposes only and prohibiting speculative or arbitrage-driven currency activity. It renders transactions final and irrevocable upon customer request, limits chargeback rights to two defined circumstances (Wise's breach or unauthorized use of a Pay-in Method), and requires customers to indemnify Wise and its affiliates for losses arising from the customer's breach of the Agreement or applicable law. The Agreement mandates binding arbitration covering all disputes regardless of legal theory, paired with mutual class action and jury trial waivers, while preserving a 21-day window for customers to opt out of arbitration. Adverse changes to the Agreement are subject to a 21-day advance notice requirement, and Wise may close accounts and terminate Services without notice or penalty in cases of misuse. Funds held with Wise carry no automatic deposit insurance protection, including FDIC coverage.

What this means for you

As a Wise customer, your use is restricted to personal purposes — business use violates the Agreement and can result in immediate account closure without notice. Transactions you request are final and can only be reversed in narrow circumstances set out in the Agreement or required by law, and chargebacks are available only if Wise breached the Agreement or your Pay-in Method was used without your authorization. All disputes with Wise must go through individual arbitration rather than court, and you waive both class action participation and jury trial rights; however, you can preserve your right to litigate by sending a written rejection notice to the Notice Address within 21 days of agreeing to these terms. Funds held with Wise are not automatically covered by any deposit protection scheme, including the FDIC.

What changed Wise expanded its error-reporting deadline for non-Send Money transactions from 60 days to 120 days, measured from when the error became visible in the account or when a statement was first sent. The company also reformatted error definitions and exclusion categories with numerical lists for clarity. These changes expand the window consumers have to report account discrepancies before the error-reporting period closes.
Why this matters The updated terms extend the deadline for reporting transaction errors from 60 days to 120 days for all transactions except Send Money transfers. The 120-day period begins either from the first day you could see the error in your online account history or the day Wise sent the first written statement showing the error, whichever comes first. This change gives account holders twice as long to identify and report discrepancies before losing the right to dispute them.

What changed Wise updated its Terms of Use on May 15, 2026 to add three new provisions governing FedNow instant payment transactions. The updated terms now state that Wise accounts can receive funds via FedNow, that FedNow transactions are processed in real time and generally cannot be canceled or reversed once completed, and that Wise may decline incoming FedNow transactions at its discretion for security, compliance, or operational reasons. Sending payments via FedNow is not currently available. These additions establish operational and procedural boundaries for a specific payment method without modifying broader settlement finality language.
Why this matters The updated terms establish that Wise accounts may receive funds through FedNow, a real-time payment service operated by the Federal Reserve. Under these new provisions, once a FedNow transaction is completed, it generally cannot be canceled or reversed, which differs from some other payment methods that may offer reversal windows. The terms also authorize Wise to decline incoming FedNow transactions at its discretion if needed for security, compliance, or operational reasons. Sending payments via FedNow is not currently available.
