Oct 16 : Money transfer firm Wise said on Thursday it expects full-year revenue growth to come in at the upper end of its target range after strong customer growth and higher cross-border transaction volumes boosted second-quarter revenue.
• Wise now expects fiscal 2027 net revenue growth near the upper end of its 15 per cent to 20 per cent target range and maintained its income-before-tax margin outlook near the top of its 20 per cent to 25 per cent range
• The update reflects rising demand for low-cost international payments as consumers and businesses move more money across borders and hold more funds on digital platforms
• Cross-border payment volumes rose 22 per cent to $71.7 billion, while active customers increased 20 per cent to 12.5 million
