Medium Jul 28, 2026

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.
