Summary

This document sets the rules for using Wise's personal money transfer and account services. It makes your transactions final once you request them, limits when you can dispute a charge, and requires you to resolve disagreements with Wise through arbitration rather than in court — though you have 21 days to reject that arbitration requirement in writing. Money you keep with Wise is not covered by FDIC or other deposit insurance.

Analysis

This Agreement establishes the terms under which customers may access Wise's Services, restricting use to personal purposes only and prohibiting speculative or arbitrage-driven currency activity. It renders transactions final and irrevocable upon customer request, limits chargeback rights to two defined circumstances (Wise's breach or unauthorized use of a Pay-in Method), and requires customers to indemnify Wise and its affiliates for losses arising from the customer's breach of the Agreement or applicable law. The Agreement mandates binding arbitration covering all disputes regardless of legal theory, paired with mutual class action and jury trial waivers, while preserving a 21-day window for customers to opt out of arbitration. Adverse changes to the Agreement are subject to a 21-day advance notice requirement, and Wise may close accounts and terminate Services without notice or penalty in cases of misuse. Funds held with Wise carry no automatic deposit insurance protection, including FDIC coverage.

What this means for you

As a Wise customer, your use is restricted to personal purposes — business use violates the Agreement and can result in immediate account closure without notice. Transactions you request are final and can only be reversed in narrow circumstances set out in the Agreement or required by law, and chargebacks are available only if Wise breached the Agreement or your Pay-in Method was used without your authorization. All disputes with Wise must go through individual arbitration rather than court, and you waive both class action participation and jury trial rights; however, you can preserve your right to litigate by sending a written rejection notice to the Notice Address within 21 days of agreeing to these terms. Funds held with Wise are not automatically covered by any deposit protection scheme, including the FDIC.

2 important changes detected

8 versions captured · Latest change detected by ConductAtlas: July 2026

What changed Wise extended the error reporting window for most transactions from 60 days to 120 days, giving customers twice as long to identify and report transaction errors. The company also reformatted its error definitions and exclusions by adding numbered lists for clarity, without changing the substantive categories of what constitutes an error or what does not. These changes make the error-reporting process more accessible by providing a longer window and clearer documentation structure.
Why this matters The updated terms extend the deadline for reporting transaction errors from 60 days to 120 days for most transactions, doubling the time available to identify and report problems. The 120-day period begins from whichever occurs first: the day the error became visible in the online account history or the day Wise sent the first written statement showing the error. This change provides customers with a longer window to review transactions and report discrepancies before losing the right to dispute them.

What changed Wise updated its Terms of Use to disclose that customer accounts may receive funds via the FedNow instant payment service. The updated terms state that FedNow transactions are processed in real time and generally cannot be canceled or reversed once completed, and that Wise may decline incoming FedNow transactions at its discretion for security, compliance, or operational reasons. Sending payments via FedNow is not currently available. This clarifies the operational characteristics and limitations of a payment method customers may encounter when receiving funds.
