What it is

Wise can change the terms of your agreement at any time, and if you keep using the service after being notified, you automatically agree to the new terms.

This analysis describes what Wise's agreement states, permits, or reserves. It does not constitute a legal determination about enforceability. Regulatory applicability and practical outcomes may vary by jurisdiction, enforcement context, and individual circumstances. Read our methodology

ConductAtlas Analysis

Why it matters (compliance & governance perspective)

This clause establishes the operational mechanism by which Wise may modify the contractual relationship without requiring mutual agreement or affirmative user consent. It transfers the timing and effective date of modifications from a bilateral agreement framework to Wise's unilateral action, with user acceptance imputed through continued use.

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.

Consumer impact (what this means for users)

This provision means the financial terms, fee structures, and legal rights governing your Wise account can change without your explicit consent — simply using the app after a notification constitutes agreement to potentially less favorable terms.

What you can do

⚠️ These actions may provide transparency or partial mitigation but may not fully address the underlying issue. Effectiveness varies by jurisdiction and individual circumstances.
  • Close Your Account
    Within 21 days
    If Wise notifies you of a change in terms you do not accept, you must stop using the service and close your account before the amendment takes effect. Log into your account, withdraw all funds, and initiate account closure through Account Settings or by contacting Wise support.
