Wise grows strongly but money-laundering probe clouds outlook
▲
FY26 results: strong revenue and customer growth Wise reported net revenue up 19% to $2.5 billion, active customers up 21% to 19 million, and a 26% profit margin, slightly above its guided range. This shows the core business is growing and profitable, which supports a higher share price.
This is the main positive fundamental driver for WSE this period.
▲
Share buyback and reiterated targets Wise announced plans to buy back more than $500 million of its own shares and repeated its medium-term goals of 15–20% revenue growth and 15–20% profit margin. Buybacks can lift the share price by reducing the number of shares and signaling confidence.
This is a new capital return action that directly affects WSE's share price.
▼
Money-laundering probe and class action investigation Rosen Law Firm is investigating Wise for possible securities claims after a report that Brussels prosecutors may summon the company to criminal court over a money-laundering probe. This legal risk can weigh on the share price because it may lead to fines, penalties, and reputational damage.
This is the main negative overhang on WSE and a key risk for investors.
▲
Direct access to Malaysia's PayNet Wise connected directly to Malaysia's national payments network, allowing users to scan DuitNow QR codes and send instant transfers. This expands Wise's reach, reduces reliance on middlemen, and speeds up transfers, which can attract more customers and support long-term growth.
This is a new market expansion that supports Wise's growth story.

Class Action Lawsuit Filed Against Wise Group plc
Bragar Eagel & Squire, P.C. announced that a class action lawsuit has been filed against Wise Group plc in the United States District Court for the Southern District of New York. The lawsuit represents purchasers of Wise securities between May 11, 2026 and July 23, 2026. The complaint alleges that the company and its executives made false or misleading statements and failed to disclose material deficiencies in anti-money laundering efforts and prevention of terrorism financing, which understated regulatory risks ahead of its NASDAQ debut. Investors have until September 29, 2026 to seek lead plaintiff appointment.
Wise Group Investors Have Until September 29 to Seek Lead Plaintiff in Class Action Lawsuit
Robbins Geller Rudman & Dowd LLP announced that purchasers of Wise Group plc publicly traded securities between May 11, 2026 and July 23, 2026 have until September 29, 2026 to seek appointment as lead plaintiff in a class action lawsuit. The lawsuit, captioned Daugherty v. Wise Group plc, alleges that Wise Group and certain top executives made false and misleading statements by understating regulatory risks related to deficient anti-money laundering and counter-terrorism financing efforts. The complaint points to a June 1, 2026 Reuters article reporting a Belgian money-laundering investigation involving over half a billion euros in suspicious transactions, which caused Wise Group’s U.S. listed shares to fall more than 5% that day, nearly 5% further on June 2, and more than 7% further on June 3. It also cites a July 24, 2026 Wall Street Journal article stating that U.S. regulators denied Wise Group a national trust bank license due to long-standing deficiencies in its anti-money laundering and counter-terrorism financing program, leading to a more than 6% drop in its U.S. listed shares. Investors who suffered substantial losses can contact Robbins Geller to discuss serving as lead plaintiff, though participation in any recovery does not require that role.
