Event Summary

Multiple investor rights law firms, including Rosen Law Firm, Bronstein, Gewirtz & Grossman, LLC, Kaplan Fox & Kilsheimer, The Gross Law Firm, Faruqi & Faruqi, Robbins LLP, Schall Brown & Schwartz LLP, Glancy Prongay & Murray, Law Offices of Howard G. Smith, and SueWallSt, have filed or announced securities class action lawsuits against Wise plc (Nasdaq: WSE) and certain of its officers. The lawsuits allege that during the Class Period from May 11, 2026 to July 23, 2026, Wise made materially false and misleading statements and failed to disclose material adverse facts about its business, operations, and prospects. Specifically, the complaints allege that Wise materially understated its regulatory risks stemming from deficient anti-money laundering efforts and insufficient efforts to prevent the financing of terrorism, in order to have a successful debut on the Nasdaq. The allegations follow a June 1, 2026 Wall Street Journal article reporting that Belgium — Brussels' public prosecutor was close to summoning Wise before a criminal court following an investigation into potential money laundering offenses. On that news, Wise's stock fell sharply. Investors who purchased Wise securities during the Class Period may be entitled to compensation, and the lead plaintiff deadline is September 29, 2026.
