We are the experts in correspondent banking and various Swift services, like SwiftRef and GPI, and we utilise these services in various ways to improve our product.
Next to the infrastructure, the team is responsible to move USD and EUR to foreign countries (to China for example), and looks after customers - mostly businesses - who send on these routes.
Our technology stack includes Java, Kotlin, Kafka messaging and relational databases, but also graphs and machine learning. The team is dynamically growing, and its role and responsibility is increasing every day.

What We Do
We’re making a positive, irreversible change in the world of finance. Together.
People on every continent around the world are choosing Wise to help them live, travel and work internationally. We’re the fairest, easiest way to send money overseas.
Built by and for people who live global lives, we make sending money abroad up to 8 times cheaper than the bank. This is money without borders - instant, convenient, transparent and eventually free.
For our customers, using Wise is as simple as sending money from A to B, but behind our app and website is a complex engine of currencies and routes, that’s being designed, built and powered by our talented teams in cities around the world.
We’re just at the beginning of our story and we’re growing at an incredible pace. We won’t stop until anyone, anywhere can send, spend and receive money wherever they are, whatever they’re doing. There’s still heaps to do and we can’t do it alone.
Why Work With Us
We are a mission-driven company, looking to change banking for the better. Current banking systems don’t let us send, spend or receive money across borders easily. Or quickly. Or cheaply. So, we’re building a new one. If you're looking for an autonomous work environment, where you'll face cool challenges, learn and grow, you'll like working at Wise
