London-based international payments FinTech Wise has completed the transfer of its primary listing to the US Nasdaq stock exchange following its announcement last year.

The move to New York is intended to increase the company’s visibility in the US and tap into the “world’s deepest and most liquid capital market,” according to Wise Chair David Wells.

“It also more closely aligns Wise with the major growth potential for us in the US – the biggest market opportunity for our products in the world today,” he added.

“We already serve millions of American consumers and businesses through Wise Account, Wise Business and Wise Platform, but we know that there are tens of millions more who need an alternative to the high fees, slow transfers, and unclear foreign exchange costs traditional providers offer.”

Wise is the latest high-profile leaver of the London Stock Exchange, which experienced its largest amount of delistings since 2008 in 2024.

On Tuesday, Wise is set to hold an investor presentation covering the details of the move and announcing its preliminary year-end metrics for FY2026. Details shared on its website ahead of the presentation reveal a 31 per cent year-on-year increase of cross border transfer volume, now totalling $243 billion, and a 40 per cent growth of customer holdings.

The company is also launching a new incentives programme, OwnWise, for shareholders to go along with its move. From the beginning of June, shareholders will be eligible for Wise’s highest referral bonus for referring new customers, invites to beta testing of new features and a subscription to the company’s Owner Relations newsletter.

After owning stock for six months, shareholders will be offered an OwnWise branded digital card, and after a year will be invited to events hosted by members of the company’s leadership team.
