Wise is a global technology company building the best way to move and manage the world’s money. Whether people and businesses are sending money to another country, spending abroad, or making and receiving international payments, Wise is on a mission to make their lives easier and save them money. As part of our team, you will be helping us create an entirely new network for the world’s money. Min fees. Max ease. Full speed. For everyone, everywhere.

Wise Assets is one of the fastest-growing features today, with Stocks and Interest live in the UK, EU, Singapore, Australia, Brazil and expanding further. Our customers now already earn £50m a month from their money held across the currencies on Wise.

Holding money with a bank is non‑transparent and unfair. It is non‑transparent because you don’t know what the bank is doing with your money, who they are lending it to, and how much they are making from it. It is unfair because they provide you with free services, which you don’t know how much they cost to provide, and give you almost zero return for holding your money with them. Unfortunately, as interest rates have increased around the world, this problem is getting worse as banks pocket a greater share of this income.

The Wise Account is our antidote to holding money in a bank. With our Assets product, we enable our customers to decide how they want to hold their money. They can choose what it is invested in and what return it makes. We then charge a fair and transparent fee before returning the rest to them. It’s simple; it is our customers' money, so they should benefit from the return it generates.
