Wise (Interest & Stocks)

wise.com

Investing features vary by country. In the UK/EEA, Interest allocates to government money-market funds; in the US, Interest is a bank program with pass-through FDIC insurance (not an investment). “Stocks” is a single BlackRock iShares World Equity Index mutual fund where available. Settlement speed (instant vs non-instant) and whether you invest from Balances or Jars differ by market. Fees are published per currency; Stocks adds a Wise service fee on top of the fund’s OCF.

Curation & Accuracy

This directory blends AI‑assisted discovery with human curation. Entries are reviewed, edited, and organized with the goal of expanding coverage and sharpening quality over time. Your feedback helps steer improvements (because no single human can capture everything all at once).

Details change. Pricing, features, and availability may be incomplete or out of date. Treat listings as a starting point and verify on the provider’s site before making decisions. If you spot an error or a gap, send a quick note and I’ll adjust.
