"This quarter almost 12 million people and businesses used Wise to move $69.3 billion across the world. These customers paid an average fee of just 50bps - the lowest it has ever been on Wise. In 77% of the transactions, their money arrived instantly on the other side of the world. More customers are trusting Wise for their everyday money - their holdings grew 31% to $41.2 billion.

"We recently expanded our product offering in Latin America, so that customers in Chile can now send money cheap and fast across borders and top up their multi-currency accounts with local, instant pay-ins.
