Article Summary
HOLD- Wise (NASDAQ: WSE; LON: WISEa) shares fell sharply after the financial technology company confirmed it was cooperating with prosecutors in Belgium following reports that its accounts had been used to facilitate money laundering.
- The Bureau of Investigative Journalism reported earlier on Monday that Belgian authorities opened an investigation last year into concerns that Wise's platform had been exploited to launder proceeds from fraud, drug trafficking and corruption, with Wise confirming it was responding to queries from Brussels prosecutor's office saying such engagement with regulators and law enforcement was routine.
- WSE said it employs a range of controls to guard against financial crime including customer verification before account opening, transaction monitoring, offboarding where necessary and reporting suspicious activity to authorities.
- Wise shares dropped as much as 19% on Monday before paring some losses to trade around 13% lower at about 812 pence by 08:52 GMT, with the steepest fall since the company went public in 2021.
