Wise transfers

[Geoff914]

Wise is normally pretty instantaneous but recently I seem to get unnecessary delays. Yesterday  I sent £59 from the UK but today it still says "sending". I sent £12 just a few minutes ago and the recipient got it almost instantaneously. I have sent them a message to ask why. It just seems these days delays are getting more frequent. Fortunately this was small amount of money but I am concerned about what happens if this a large amount of cash? Anybody else experiencing this?

Sending over a weekend has become unpredictable

Sending over a weekend and holiday is best avoided if you aren't patient, often a delay but always people question it

But I sent a smaller amount this morning and the transfer was instantaneous. The transfer I did on Friday is still sending. Wise never used to be like this. They just take the pi55 now.

Does anybody know if Wise comes under the UK Financial regulator? I can't cancel the transaction but it is still only sending. I have had to send the money again which has gone through but the original money is just hanging there. Wise are totally useless now.

The time of day that you send can make a big difference as well, due to the time difference..

Not with wise but with other company had to provide legal proof of where the money come from, twice I was asked and provided letters from lawyers and bank, after that OK 

What annoys me is that they allready had the same info

Correct, there's a good reason for that, I thought everyone knew by now?
