Wise announced the launch of its new Interest feature for people and businesses in Canada. Wise is the first provider in Canada to enable customers to earn a return on balances held across multiple currencies within one consolidated account. Eligible customers can now opt into the new Interest feature to earn a market-leading return on balances held in CAD, USD, EUR and GBP from the convenience of their Wise multi-currency account.
Once opted in, customers can continue to hold, spend, send and convert their money internationally from their balances with no penalties or minimum balance requirements. Key features of the new feature include: Earn market-leading returns across currencies: Opt in to Interest and earn 2.22% in CAD, 3.14% in USD, 0.8% in EUR and 2.21% in GBP from the convenience of the Wise multi-currency account; Instant access to your funds: Continue to hold, spend, send funds internationally with no minimum balance requirements or lock-up periods; Simple opt-in: Activate the feature in just a few taps within the Wise app. This launch builds on Wise's growing momentum in Canada, where its active customer base grew by more than 30% in Fiscal year 2025.
Wise became a member of Payments Canada earlier this year, making it eligible to apply for direct participation in Canada's national payment systems, including ACSS, Lynx and the forthcoming Real-Time Rail. Over time, this direct access to local payment infrastructure would enable Wise to move money faster and reduce costs further for Canadians and people sending to and from Canada.
