Liability Cap

High severity
Share 𝕏 Share in Share

Why it matters

If a large transfer goes wrong or funds are lost due to Wise's error, your compensation is capped at potentially a very small amount relative to your actual loss.

Consumer impact

Wise's US Customer Agreement limits your ability to sue Wise in court and requires arbitration for most disputes, eliminating your right to join a class action lawsuit. Wise can suspend or close your account with limited notice, potentially freezing access to your funds, and its liability to you is capped at fees you paid in the prior 12 months. You can opt out of the arbitration clause by notifying Wise in writing within 30 days of first accepting the agreement.

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.
  • Dispute a Fee
    If you believe Wise has caused you financial harm, file a dispute through Wise's Help Centre in the app or website. Document all transaction details and losses before contacting Wise support.

Applicable agencies

  • CFPB
    The CFPB oversees compliance with Regulation E and consumer protections for electronic fund transfers, including error resolution obligations that may supersede contractual liability caps.
