Helping a visionary fintech scale exponentially with Visa Cloud Connect.
Wise initially relied on third-party processors to connect to VisaNet and for back-office services. Wise found its costly model difficult to scale, sustain and implement quickly.
To solve its challenge, Wise selected Visa Cloud Connect. Using Wise’s existing cloud provider, Visa Cloud Connect facilitated Wise’s launch in multiple markets without the need to expand or maintain data centres.
With Visa Cloud Connect, Wise accelerated market expansion while increasing reliability and innovation. Costs were reduced while freeing up resources to focus on other priorities. Learn more in the case study.
