What Is The Lawsuit About?

The lawsuit has been filed on behalf of investors who purchased securities during the period of May 11, 2026 and July 23, 2026, inclusive (“the Class Period”). The lawsuit alleges that Wise made materially false and/or misleading statements and failed to disclose that, in order to have a successful debut on the NASDAQ, the Company materially understated Wise’s regulatory risks as a result of its materially deficient anti-money laundering efforts and insufficient efforts to prevent the financing of terrorism.

On June 1, 2026, Reuters published an article entitled “Fintech Wise’s shares fall on Belgian money-laundering investigation.” The article reported that London-listed shares in Wise fell by more than 10% on the news that the Brussels Public Prosecutor’s Office was investigating the Company’s European entity in cases involving over $582.5 million in suspicious transactions. The article revealed that the investigation “concerns potential money laundering offences, with alleged links to fraud, corruption and drug trafficking” and “whether Wise Europe’s services were used by international criminal organizations.” On this news, Wise’s U.S. stock price fell $0.67 per share, or 5.24%, to close at $12.10 on June 1, 2026. The price then fell $0.56 per share, or 4.6%, to close at $12.10 on June 2, 2026. The stock fell a further $0.82 per share, or 7.1%, to close at $10.72 per share on June 3, 2026.

On July 24, 2026, The Wall Street Journal published an article entitled “Wise Group Shares Drop After U.S. Regulator Denies License on Shortcomings.” The article reported that London-listed shares in Wise fell after the Office of the Comptroller of the Currency denied the Company’s application for a national trust bank license, “citing deficiencies in its program to combat money laundering and terrorism financing.” On this news, Wise’s stock price fell $0.75 per share, or 6.2%, to close at $11.33 per share on July 24, 2026.
