Question 1

A Wise account holder wants to convert USD to JPY. Which factor most directly affects the final JPY amount received?

Accepted Answer

The mid-market USD/JPY rate at the time of conversion plus Wise's fee

Answer

The final amount depends on the live mid-market rate between USD and JPY at conversion time, minus Wise's transparent conversion fee.

Question 2

What does Wise's 'hold balance' feature enable that a standard international wire transfer does not?

Accepted Answer

Storing foreign currency and spending it later without repeated conversions

Answer

Holding a balance lets you convert once when the rate is favorable and spend or transfer that currency multiple times without additional conversion costs.

Question 3

Which of these correctly explains why Wise transfers are often faster than traditional bank international wires?

Accepted Answer

Wise uses a network of local bank accounts to make domestic transfers at both ends, avoiding the SWIFT network

Answer

Wise holds local accounts in many countries; when you send money internationally, Wise debits its local account in the destination country, making it a domestic transfer rather than a slow cross-border one.

Question 4

Under which circumstance would Wise decline to open or maintain a multi-currency account for a US customer?

Accepted Answer

The customer intends to transact with sanctioned countries or fails identity verification

Answer

Wise declines accounts or closes them when customers are involved with sanctioned entities or fail to pass KYC/AML identity verification requirements.

Question 5

What is the correct way to describe Wise's approach to exchange rate markups?

Accepted Answer

Wise does not mark up the exchange rate; it charges a separate, visible fee instead

Answer

Wise's core promise is to use the mid-market rate with zero markup and charge a separate, clearly disclosed fee for the service.
