Don't use Wise
hey.paris
Wise has stolen more than $60,000 AUD from us, and refuses to let us access it. We’ve had a Wise account for around 5 years (since they were called TransferWise). It’s been a really useful way to transact in foreign currencies, and pay for things when we’re travelling for work. In early-April 2025, Wise asked us to provide some additional information on our Ultimate Beneficial Owners (UBOs) by uploading a statement of shareholders, and the ID of the owners.

    My transaction sending a small amount of cash to a personal friend in Australia exited my account just fine, but failed to materialize in theirs today.

    I wonder if it’s affecting specifically Australia, because they were unable to open their own new account today for some kind of rate limiting or velocity timeout.

    Like if Wise have some microservice or compliance API calls failing for Australia markets specifically, that could explain these three failings that you’d expect headlines talking about a countrywide outage affecting that significant of a market.
