Money transfer giant Wise faces Belgian probe over AML controls

Belgian prosecutors have advanced to a near-conclusion phase in a money-laundering probe of Wise.
Investigators are looking into whether Wise services were used to launder money from fraud, corruption, and drug trafficking.
The probe centers on Wise Europe, the firm’s Belgium-based European subsidiary.
Wise says information requests are routine and not evidence of wrongdoing.
Wise reports over 19 million active customers and about 4.7 million daily transactions globally.
Wise processed over $243 billion in cross-border transactions in 2026.
By midday, Wise shares fell about 15% on the London Stock Exchange.
Belgian prosecutors launched the probe last year after Wise appeared in many international assistance requests.
Prosecutors say the findings concern misuse of Wise accounts with anti-money laundering non-compliance indicators.
Wise says the investigations are not indicative of wrongdoing and are routine information requests.
