About Wise
For everyone, everywhere. We’re people building money without borders.
Wise is a global company building the best way to move and manage the world's money. Making it faster, cheaper, easier and more transparent for people and businesses.
We’re a global team with a global workplace.
We’re truly global in who we are, how we work and how we build. Just like our customers, our Wisers are from every part of the world. They are shaped by the places where they live, work and travel. They work in diverse teams solving global problems. We have 117 different nationalities represented at Wise, with almost half of our people working in a country that’s different from their nationality. We’re growing our global footprint across our regions. We’re focused on developing talent and our internal mobility is high.
Working at Wise
We are all owners.
Our goal is to build a better product that is continuously growing with our customers. That’s why all our people own a piece of Wise, from the work they do, to the stock they hold. Our teams are empowered to solve the most urgent and relevant problems they see for our customers. They’re agile, flexible and able to focus on the customer by working in tribes and squads – collaborating across the business to bring together the skills needed to solve problems and remove friction
Wisers all have a voice.
Wisers are encouraged to share their feedback to make Wise an even better place to work. Our teams regularly collaborate to review their lessons learned and create plans for the quarter ahead. These plans are then shared across the organisation and are open to challenge and feedback. Wisers are willing to act as ambassadors for our brand too – 87% of Wisers would recommend Wise as a place to work and this has translated to over 6,000 referrals using our employee referral scheme in FY2023!
Supporting flexibility in how we work.
We have a flexible working model at Wise. We also have a Mobile Wiser programme, which allows Wisers to work from (almost) anywhere in the world for up to 90 days a year. At the end of 2022, we reviewed our approach, and designed it to focus on bringing people together in the workplace for the most impactful activities. For example coaching, community and collaboration for team activities, team activities, supporting new joiners and building our team relationships. Wisers have access to a ‘work from home’ allowance, workplace safety checks and collaboration tools that support their ability to work safely – in person or virtually.
Wellbeing and safety
We believe that the wellbeing of our people is integral to the work they do. Our wellbeing support includes:
● Enhanced parental leave and sick leave, dedicated compassionate leave and ‘me’ days
● Employee assistance support from in-house mental wellbeing champions and external networks
● Benefits to support health and financial wellbeing
● Social and physical wellbeing activities and team get-togethers
● Regular, in-office food and drinks offerings available to Wisers throughout the week
● Flexible working times and locations. We want to enhance our wellbeing offering for Wisers, particularly post-pandemic, and for the challenging economic environment that many of them are experiencing. So in the next financial year we will commence a review of what we offer in this space to ensure that we are meaningfully supporting Wisers' mental, physical, financial and social health.
Diversity, Equity & Inclusion at Wise
To build the future of global money, we need an inclusive team that’s as diverse as the customers we serve.
Our Equal Opportunity Statement
Wise was built for people without borders — expats, students, immigrants, freelancers, traders, businesses and everyday people from all walks of life. We believe teams are strongest when they are diverse, equitable and inclusive. We're proud to have a truly international team, and we celebrate our differences. Every Wiser should feel that they can be themselves at work. Inclusive teams help us live our values and make sure every Wiser feels respected, empowered to share their contributions towards mission zero and able to progress in their careers. Having diverse teams that reflect our diverse customer base helps us build a better product. We can be more creative and empathetic to our customer's needs and life experiences and makes sure we leave no-one behind on our journey to mission-zero.
