More about our mission.
We’re growing rapidly, moving £115 billion cross border annually and holding £14 billion in customer funds across 10+ licensed entities worldwide. As we scale into new markets and expand our product offerings, managing liquidity, safeguarding customer funds, and mitigating financial risk become even more mission critical.
Our Treasury Engineering squad plays a pivotal role in ensuring Wise remains financially resilient, compliant with global regulations, and capable of handling complex, real-time financial operations. We build the core infrastructure that safeguards customer funds, provides real-time insights into Wise’s global cash positions, and enables efficient foreign exchange risk management.
