Wise repeatedly suspended incoming transfers from my main clients in Germany for no reason. The apologetic customer service never answered my questions. For the past five days, I've been attempting to resolve this issue by contacting customer service multiple times. However, like most customer service representatives, they only offer sympathetic phrases such as "I understand your frustration." The information I received from Wise is quite alarming. It appears that Wise utilizes artificial intelligence to identify suspicious or fraudulent transactions. Strangely enough, after five years of recurring transfers from my German client to my company in California, the system suddenly flagged something as suspicious. This is perplexing, as the transfers have always included a sequence of letters and numbers that serve as my client's accounting references. Despite my client's explanation of these references, the transfer and the associated funds vanished without a trace. When I inquired about the whereabouts of the money, the staff at Wise were unable to provide any answers. Subsequently, some technical individuals claiming to represent Wise contacted me, and we spent numerous hours attempting to rectify the issues with my account. Unfortunately, they were unsuccessful. At this point, it remains unclear whether the money is being returned to my client, returned to my account, or stuck in limbo. The staff at this supposedly remarkable bank have been unable to provide me with any information, and after five days, my money has yet to be returned, as is the case with my client. I have been calling Wise twice daily, explaining the situation to their customer service, but for five days, no one has been able to resolve my problem. When entrusting my finances to a financial institution, I expect a significantly higher level of service. This unprofessionalism raises serious concerns about the security and safety of my funds. Undoubtedly, this has been the most dreadful banking experience of my life, and I strongly caution others against using Wise. Considering the harm caused to my company and the strain on my relationship with my client, I am now pursuing legal action against Wise.

3 I had several WISE accounts for couple of years. It worked properly. I had conflict with their staff couple of days ago. They have asked me about photo of my passport. I did it. They asked my about my selfie. I did it. They asked me about my gas bill. I did it. They have asked me for the invoice for my payment. I said no, because it is something which I never had shown to any other bank. They are blocking me now more that £3000 in payments.

0 I was trying to send from INR to EUR. A lot of documents were asked and shared with them but they were asked again after I had received confirmation from them regarding the same documents. Very poor transparency after all the documents were shared. They mentioned they were still checking the documents. After waiting for a couple of days, they wanted more documents to be shared. If 3 months bank statements showing salary credit is not considered salary proof, then only they woukd know, what is! Horrible experience and all that came out after the whole excercise of document sharing and waiting for 3-4 days was a 0.

1 I had a Wise accountant for a few years without any problem. Then recently I transferred some addition funds in because I was expecting to make a trip. I was notified that I had exceeded the limit that could be held and that I needed to transfer some funds out. I did that immediately but the Wise system said it would need 8 days for my funds to be sent back. In the mean time Wise deactivated my account without any communication and have not responded to any of my queries. I would recommend people by to touch this platform. Service is terrible and they hold your funds for much longer than reasonably necessary.

2 Stay away from Transferwise, I am a freelancer working in a third world country, these guys authorized a payment from my employer to my wise account but are BLOCKING any efforts to withdraw the money I HAVE in my account to be sent to any of my local bank accounts in my own home country. So the money is expected to just stay in my transferwise account? The customerservice down to their AML analysts are downright idiots.

1 This is regarding a transfer of US dollars to Euros. I have been a regular customer of Wise (previously Transferwise) for seven years, making regular monthly/bimonthly transfers from my personal US bank account to my Spanish account. This week, suddenly, one of my transfers disappeared. Wise debited the funds from my US account, but then "paused" the transaction, and the funds never arrived to my Spanish account. Multiple emails and phone calls with useless customer service agents went around in circles: sometimes they claimed that the funds had not been paid from my US account despite my proof of payment, sometimes they tried to claim that the transfer had already taken place on the date of a previous transfer. Now I have to file a fraud complaint with my US bank. DO NOT USE THIS TRANSFER SERVICE. Once upon a time, when it was Transferwise, it worked brilliantly. Now they are Wise, they are scamming clients, including those with long transaction histories.

2 Accounts were frozen with no reason or explanation We have been customers of Wise for 3 years but now we are going to close our business account and go back to a traditional bank, as soon as the problem we are facing is resolved. For more than a week, our business account with a total amount of 115.000 U SD was totally frozen, all of a sudden, without any warning, we could not use our credit card or use our funds! We sent several emails to find out the reasons for this decision, but all the emails bounced back to us until finally, we called the customer centre, who kept saying that they had to do security checks. We are a regulated capital introduction company based in Western Europe, we have a website that clearly explains that we are committed to research, financial investigation and due diligence. All our transactions are documented by contract and invoicing. All our clients are public or duly registered companies! So we don't know what kind of investigation the Wise team has been conducting on us for over a week. Wise has become a headache, with poor customer service, and arbitrary capital retention. The cheapest rate and fastest money transfer service are not worth this headache, They deserved to be reported to the European financial authorities.

6 The worst and most pathetic service of all. I have used various fund transfer services , but this one creates its own level and place in the tradition of failed orgs. 0 customer service , no transparency. Used the service to fund transfer to another country, the first prompt was within 2 days , after wise deducted money from my account , the delay became 4 days and then they asked for more verification , which was sent at a random , but they again asked to wait for 5 days. This is a scam!! Please go for any other service , this is NOT WISE!!

2 My account was verified with ID, + selfie holding ID. Just putting it out there. I transferred payment from my Upwork account to Wise account which took 2-3 days, normal. After that I proceeded to transfer payment to my Father's bank account from my Wise account. This is where everything turned upside down. Wise held the payment, offered little to no help, gave generic ambiguous responses with no clear message. One of their exact response was: "... we have the following section in our Customer Agreement agreed by you upon opening of your Wise account: 12.7 Verification checks may increase the time for processing your transfer order. We carry out verification checks, and these checks may increase the time it takes to process your transfer order. We cannot be responsible for any delays as a result of carrying out those checks." They sent me this exact ambiguous and contradictory response 2 times. If Wise is not responsible than who is? I mean, they are running a financial institution and people depend on them to send their money in a responsible manner in a fixed time frame. And they claim to be regulated. What those regulators are doing letting this blunder slide by? Payoneer was involved in a massive blunder just a few months ago. Either way, after reading about other's experience with Wise I am confident that they will terminate/disable/suspend my account. I can't do a thing or have a say in this matter. I am a sitting duck waiting for his account to be blocked and payment held.

2 We really liked Wise until this week when only half of our payments when through. No explanation as to why they were "sending" for 4 days and the phone line was "closed" becasue they are "busy.", Internal chat was no longer connected and the internal message system didn't permit sending an email. Contacted on Twitter and no response either. Have they melted down?

4 This is the worst app/service you can use. They will make you regret that you chose them to transfer your money. They will keep your money after you transfer and you would have no idea where your money is. Please don't use this app. They don't care if you are sending money to someone who needs it urgently, worst app ever. I cannot stress enough that no one should use this app from personal experience because I made a transfer 2 weeks ago and still don't where my money is.I have never been so bitters so save yourself from agony,don't use it.

14 They started to block money for long periods recently. So, don't believe the day their system shows you in the beginning, once they have your money in, they would block it for checks "it will say 1-2 days check, but could take a week or weeks". Customer Service is useless

7 Stay away from this company, use Revolut instead. They blocked my account and would not give me a valid reason for closure of my account. "We’ve decided to keep your account closed. Unfortunately, we can’t tell you the specific reason why — it’s because of how we’re regulated." I would not rely or recommend this company to anyone. Thank you for understanding!

9 Voilà un bel exemple de fintech : Sous des faux propos de "sécurité" et autres supercheries, ils vous gardent votre argent et le font fructifier. Vous vous dépenser des sommes d'avocats, pour simplement pouvoir récuperer vos propres fonds après 3 mois; aucune succursale réelle, une coquille vide, sans réel recours pour vous si ce n'est d'attendre. Que des "étudiants" payés à vous répondre à coté de la plaque, ou un système automatique de robots comme l'a suggéré l'avocat. Bref à fuir ou si vous aimez le risque et des ulcères, allez y ! Voici mon expérience avec eux, et je pense sincèrement que c'est la même chose avec les autres.... Méfiez vous et réfléchissez : pourquoi autant de "bons" avis sur le net? Simplement qu'ils innondent la toile de faux avis, de pub magique... Toujours le même scénario : 2 russes, ukrainiens ou autres ont une super idée, vous allez gagner de l'argent, ils ont des millions de clients, des milliardaires qui les suivent, bref le rêve... (comme les voyages en ligne où on part en hotel de luxe pour rien ;)). Ce système s'apparente à une pyramide de Ponzi, une cavalerie où ils se servent de l'argent des 1er pigeons pour faire tourner le reste, sauf que un jour, ça peut s'écrouler, et vous avec. A chacun de faire son expérience, moi il est vrai que face à leur ### internet, je ne peux pas lutter, ces fintechs sont hyper productives pour inonder internet de faux avis et vous faire rêver, sauf que vous allez pleurer à la fin/ Bonne chance

'' According to our Terms of Use Agreement we have every right to conduct due-diligence checks to your funds and account as long as 60 working days. These people are scammers....

23 I can't rate it. All went well, happy with rates and speed, went to access my account - DEACTIVATED. Comments below all say the same. I started the "appeal" process - that's got to be bullshit. Appeal? Sounds like an Australian government department! Wondering whether there are games being played with law enforcement trying to catch money launderers. What a total disappointment!

1 Transferwise provides a very unprofessional service. After opening my account I saw that I had to deposit 20 GBP in order to receive my local bank address. It only let's you pay in these (AUD, BGN, CAD, CHF, CZK, DKK, EUR, GBP, HRK, HUF, NOK, NZD, PLN, RON, SEK, TRY USD , SGD) and because I from Bangladesh my currency is not BDT. So I sent an email to the customer support and the first guy told me that depositing 20 GBP isn't necessary and verifying the passport will be enough. I verified my passport. But still the local bank details wasn't visible and it was still asking for 20 GBP. Then I sent a lot of emails to customer support. Each time a different person was replying. There was no collaboration between the employees of customer support. They were not reading my previous emails. All of them was giving me irrelevant answers. No one was talking about the core problem. They wasted my two days. If they don't want us to use transferwise account then why do they ask us to create account. Because Bangladeshi people will have Bangladeshi bank account, not British bank Account. And Bangladeshi bank will have BDT, not GBP.

1 I recommend not using Transferwise in Canada. The company uses a bait and switch technique to get your personal details and then cancel your account based on not reading the fine print. I used Transferwise and clicked on the link provided for a business account and Freelancer bank accounts to accept foreign currencies. They know I’m in Canada because when you click on the Debit card, it says not available in Canada yet. I filled out the application only and submitted with my details. Shortly after Transferwise accused me of violating their terms of Use and cancelled my application and my personal account. When I asked for details the company TOU refers to engaging in a “marketplace” which is what freelancing and businesses do. I asked what that definition was and Transferwise said “that is internal to Transferwise”. After I asked for reconsideration, they said I could appeal using the link provided. That link was unusable after they closed my account. This was recent in early 2020. Transferwise has some hidden policies and clicking on links provided are not safe if you intend to build your transaction there. This could leave you with balances not retrievable and legal issues at best. I found Transferwise to be intolerant of any appeal process although the people were polite. The fact that you can violate the TOU simply by accepting the offer to apply for an account is very disturbing. It is baiting the consumer to apply and then switching off the account. I give them 9+ for fees but zero for customer service and business acumen. If I were a shareholder like Branson, I’d pull out while I can. Other startups with friendly approaches will do far better in the long run. Transferwise is worse than my bank for customer service. Shame on Transferwise for continuing to bait Canadians with those links. Look here for their crazy logic: Transferwise Customer Service (appeals): "Having said that, we have looked over your case once again, considering all the facts gathered, and information shared by you, we have come to the conclusion that your business model indeed falls in line with our marketplace definition. Thus, it violates our Acceptable Use Policy clause 1.2.2.d: Marketplaces from countries outside of European Economic Area and/or European Union. Unfortunately, we are not at liberty to provide further explanation on this reasoning."
8 I recommend not using Transferwise in Canada. The company uses a bait and switch technique to get your personal details and then cancel your account based on not reading the fine print. I used Transferwise and clicked on the link provided for a business account and Freelancer bank accounts to accept foreign currencies. They know I’m in Canada because when you click on the Debit card, it says not available in Canada yet. I filled out the application only and submitted with my details. Shortly after Transferwise accused me of violating their terms of Use and cancelled my application and my personal account. When I asked for details the company TOU refers to engaging in a “marketplace” which is what freelancing and businesses do. I asked what that definition was and Transferwise said “that is internal to Transferwise”. After I asked for reconsideration, they said I could appeal using the link provided. That link was unusable after they closed my account. This was recent in early 2020. Transferwise has some hidden policies and clicking on links provided are not safe if you intend to build your transaction there. This could leave you with balances not retrievable and legal issues at best. I found Transferwise to be intolerant of any appeal process although the people were polite. The fact that you can violate the TOU simply by accepting the offer to apply for an account is very disturbing. It is baiting the consumer to apply and then switching off the account. I give them 9+ for fees but zero for customer service and business acumen. If I were a shareholder like Branson, I’d pull out while I can. Other startups with friendly approaches will do far better in the long run. Transferwise is worse than my bank for customer service.

7 Stay away from this one, use XOOM or OFX instead. They blocked my account and would not give me a valid reason for closure of my account. "We’ve decided to keep your account closed. Unfortunately, we can’t tell you the specific reason why — it’s because of how we’re regulated." I would not rely or recommend this company to anyone.

1 A total scam of a company - STAY AWAY! I'd like to reach as many people as possible over here, last month I've had to transfer $4.9K to my friend in Europe, I've tried to send it over TransferWise. However, they are a total scam of a company which never gives out any reasons to deactivate your account without notifying you, hold the money, ask you all kinds of verifications (My California license with my photo next to it) etc. And they never get back to you. There is no direct phone numbers to contact them to ask whereabouts of your money. I've contacted Bank Of America for fraudulent activity, and they legit credit me my full amount in 2 (two) days! BOA will never ever credit you your full amount this quickly! Normally it would have to take at least 45-90 days for verification. But guess what, BOA would have never acted this quickly, if TransferWise wasn't a SCAM operation. PLEASE, IF ANYONE ELSE READING THIS, PLEASE STAY AWAY FROM THIS FRAUDULENT COMPANY.

7 TRANSFERWISE STOLE MY MONEY On Jan 29, 2020, i used the company transferwise LTD which is a business that is registered in Canada as a money service business and asked them to transfer $4382 Canadian dollars from my account, convert this amount into South Africa currency (ZAR) and deposit this amount in my family members account in South Africa. I gave them all the appropriate banking information and account number of the recipient account. They guaranteed a delivery date of the funds of Jan 31, 2020. To this date (Feb 24, 2020) my recipient has still not received the funds and they are refusing to refund me the money. I have been frequently calling transferwise, messaging their company on Facebook and emailing and they have not been able to provide me with any concrete answers as to where the money is. There answers are constantly changing and at one point they are stating the money has not been sent, and at another point they are saying the money is still being held by their partner bank account in South Africa. They at one point stated they would refund me the money if I showed a bank statement from the receipts bank account which was provided to them but they are refusing to provide me a refund nor give me any idea on when I will receive this money.

0 Unbelievably slow. Despite my having sent them all the requested identity documents AND MORE, they're blaming "identity verification" for the delay. Yet, they needed no verification at all to take the money OUT of my bank account. That trans-border transaction happened immediately. Yes, their fees for trans-border transfers are cheaper--I suspect that's because they hold on to clients' funds and invest them in the overnight money markets. That's how they make a profit. I will never use TransferWise again. (Meanwhile, I'm still waiting for my transfer to be paid out after three days of vague and conflicting "updates".)

7 I had very bad experience with this company. I was been fraud and cheated by illegally moving more than $100,000 from my Account to Transferwise and Transferwise moving to somewhere. Irony is that when money was been transferred to Transferwise, name was different and still they accepted the money. This could be serious Money Laundering or Criminal case and yet they are not willing to support and give us the information on where this money went. Atleast we should know who was the party who moved and where this money was moved so we can involve Police. They asked us to have US Police reach out to them. US Police and Detective have tried reaching Transferwise but no response. They want to run their Business model but they don't want to support someone who lost $100,000. Transferwise keep loopholes that any criminal can take advantage of this loophole. Just be careful using Transferwise and giving your routing # and Account #. If anything happens, you will not get response. I am very skeptical about Transferwise and company like this can encourage cyber crime and money Laundering. Never use them.....

2 This is a joke. 5 days after I did a transfer my bank showed the transaction imnediatley and Transferwise shows they are having issues on their end putting the money in my TW account. Ive reached out via email and FB messenger. On FB messenger they said....we saw you send a question via email, check that reply. Are you f*flying kidding me? What great customer service. I checked my email and they said, even though your bank shows the deduction it can take up to 4 days. Well it's been 6 days now. I replied to the email asking for more information, no reply. I messaged on FB again....no reply. I cancelled the transfer only to find out they won't refund me my money until they post it to my TW account!!! This is 5,000 euro my family needs and it's just floating around for who knows how long.

1 Transferwise is very clear: "Recipient will get exactly 3,300 USD". "Fee 16.30 EUR" But the recipient only got 3,255 USD. No where did Transferwise say that the recipient would be charged $45. Transferwise customer support says there is nothing they can do about it. Now I have to transfer the recipient another $45. I will not be using Transferwise ever again.

1 Wouldn't recommend this company. I was sending money to family in India and unfortunately didn't have the best experience. Their policies aren't transparent. They appear to discriminate and justify their actions hiding behind the pretext of "regulators". I have used many competing services and never experienced an issue with "regulators," but for whatever reason (which TransferWise is unwilling to disclose) they stopped one of my transfers for review. Then closed my account. Followed their appeal process but my account remained closed for again an undisclosed reason. They just aren't a reliable provider and I question their funding. When sending money internationally its important to send funds through a company with enough capital to support all the transfers they transmit which is millions of dollars a day. I question if TransferWise actually has the money in the bank to support their business which means a disruption in service. There are many other competing services with more capital to support transactions and more transparency who are just as easy and just as fast.

2 All these 5 star reviews are fake, generated by their PR marketing team so don`t fall for positive reviews as they are fake. Here is my experience with them i was able to use borderless account for 50 days before they deactivated my account. As obvious these idio** think only they know everything but you cant expect transferwise or paypal to work for long anyway. stay away from these companies, if you still thinking about using them, you would be the most stupid person in the universe. I used it for testing purposes after reading so many bad reviews and I agree they were right and transferwise proved those bad reviews to be true so transferwise go fuc* yourself, piece of shi*. I didn`t loose much, just 240 aud, they can go and fuc* a prost for a night in that cheers
