## Reviews

### "The Best Online Bank Miles Away" — 5.0/5

> **Gustavo** | *13 May 2022* | Marketing & Advertising | Recommendation rating: 10.0/10
> 
> **Pros**: It does offer great exchange rates.&#10;You can literally a bank account in different countries like EEUU, UK, Belgium, etc.&#10;The money transferring system is super easy to use
> 
> **Cons**: As the time pass, it has become more difficult to open a Wise Account. &#10;It does not allow Venezuelan customers to manage their cards, nor their accounts while in Venezuela, and it is a terrible deal, since you might be eventually parked at some places, and you won't be able to use your funds. &#10;The customer support is not as good as it should be. I found myself looking for Wise customer services in different countries once a particular time zone is closed. &#10;There are no physical or virtual cards for businesses in the United States, then it is super limited the money management.
> 
> I do use Wise literally daily from almost three years. I have to travel a lot, and I find their rates to be the best with no questions.

### "Fast, Seamless, Secure" — 5.0/5

> **Zahra** | *22 October 2021* | Management Consulting | Recommendation rating: 10.0/10
> 
> **Pros**: Not 1, but several\!\! Its a fluid and well integrated system. Sending and Receiving money is very quick. The app is secure, the system sends 2FA, their card never fails, the virtual cards are a great feature\! Jars is such a good idea and now we have another gimmick\! "Invest"
> 
> **Cons**: Its asks to load money before we're able to see accounts. So this is an extra step which wasn't there before. Not sure why they added but as long as conversion from one currency to another is allowed, i'm game - but otherwise it seems like 'not a nice thing to do, you know'
> 
> Wise for personal is very good... and great\! Wise for Business is superb\!\!

### "Arbitrary and not accountable" — 1.0/5

> **Warren** | *21 March 2025* | Farming | Recommendation rating: 0.0/10
> 
> **Pros**: Rates close being best if not the best.  relative ease of use.
> 
> **Cons**: Lack of integrity and transparency.  i was sending money to family in another country  for costly medical expenses, over a period of 7 months. i had phone conversations with Wise about this, sent detailed info when they asked.         &#10;                                                                                                                       &#10;      Then out of no where after using the service for 7 months.  they froze my account and the recipient's.  after that they would not take phone calls. they refused to explain or provide any reason or evidence.  There is no question they are using falsehoods and simple innuendo, which  they are passing to financial institutions here and abroad with so called investigations which turns up no evidence of contravening  their terms of use, and acceptable practices.    &#10;if you want to be open to arbitrary, untrue, and irresponsible blackballing THESE ARE YOUR PEOPLE.
> 
> Their refusal to communicate what their actual issue is, or be willing to resolve and acknowledge their mistakes takes away any confidence i was willing to extend for handling our money.
