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.
