The updated terms now authorize Wise to accept incoming funds via FedNow, a new instant payment service. The agreement states that FedNow transactions are processed in real time and generally cannot be canceled or reversed once completed, distinguishing them from traditional transfers that may have reversal windows. The terms also establish that Wise may decline any incoming FedNow transaction at its discretion where required for security, compliance, or operational reasons, without specifying advance notice or appeal procedures. Users receiving FedNow payments should understand that such transfers become final immediately upon completion.
