The Wise Group class action lawsuit alleges that defendants throughout the Class Period made false and/or misleading statements and/or failed to disclose that:

• In order to have a successful debut on the NASDAQ, the defendants materially understated Wise Group’s regulatory risks as a result of its materially deficient anti-money laundering efforts, as well as insufficient efforts to prevent the financing of terrorism; and
• As a result, the defendants’ statements about Wise Group’s business, operations, and prospects were materially false and misleading and/or lacked a reasonable basis at all relevant times.

On June 1, 2026, before the market opened, Reuters published an article entitled “Fintech Wise’s shares fall on Belgian money-laundering investigation.”  The Reuters article reported that “London-listed shares fell by more than 10% on Monday on news that the Brussels Public Prosecutor’s Office is investigating its European entity in cases the prosecutor said reportedly involve more than half a billion euros ($582.5 million) in suspicious transactions.”

The article added that “[t]he prosecutor’s office said the investigation, which began last year and is nearing completion, concerns potential money laundering offences, with alleged links to fraud, corruption and drug trafficking” and that “[p]rosecutors are investigating whether Wise Europe’s services were used by international criminal organisations, and are ⁠currently finalising a direct summons before the criminal court.”
