Mandatory Arbitration Clause

High severity
Share 𝕏 Share in Share

Why it matters

This means you give up the right to sue Wise in court or join other customers in a class action, which can be the most effective way to address widespread issues or small-dollar claims.

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.
  • Opt Out of Arbitration
    Within 30 days
    Send a written notice to Wise clearly stating your name, account email, and that you are opting out of the arbitration agreement. This must be done within 30 days of first accepting the Customer Agreement.

Applicable agencies

  • CFPB
    The CFPB has regulatory authority over arbitration clauses in consumer financial services contracts and accepts complaints about unfair dispute resolution terms.
