What People Are Saying About Wise
-
Strong Revenue Growth: Net revenue grew 19% in FY26 and rose 25% year over year in Q1 FY27. Guidance points to mid‑teens to ~20% net revenue growth for FY27 (constant currency).
-
Market Expansion: New licenses in South Africa, the UAE, and Thailand, plus new connections in Brazil and Japan, are widening access and improving transfer speed and cost. Cross‑border volumes continued to climb (e.g., up 31% in FY26 and 26% in Q1 FY27), supporting broader customer acquisition.
-
Diversified Revenue Streams: Nearly half of net revenue now comes from non‑transfer sources such as interest on customer balances and card revenue, supported by rising customer holdings and card spend. Broader Wise Account adoption (larger balances, increased card usage) reduces reliance on transfer fees alone.
