WSE UPCOMING DEADLINE: Levi & Korsinsky Alerts Wise Group plc Stockholders of Securities Class Action - Contact the Firm

Levi & Korsinsky, LLP notifies Wise Group plc investors that a securities class action alleges the Company understated longstanding anti-money laundering and counter-terrorist financing deficiencies ahead of and following its Nasdaq debut.

NEW YORK, Aug. 12, 2026 /PRNewswire/ -- Levi & Korsinsky, LLP notifies investors in Wise Group plc (NASDAQ: WSE) that a class action lawsuit has been filed on behalf of shareholders who purchased securities between May 11, 2026 and July 23, 2026. Find out if you could qualify to recover your losses. You may also contact Joseph E. Levi, Esq. at [email protected] or (212) 363-7500.

WSE shares declined 16.05% across June 1-3, 2026, a cumulative drop of $2.05 per share to a close of $10.72, followed by a further 6.2% decline on July 24, 2026. Belgian prosecutors are examining more than half a billion euros ($582.5 million) in suspicious transactions. The lead plaintiff deadline is September 29, 2026.

The Alleged Anti-Money Laundering Compliance Failures

Wise moved its primary listing to Nasdaq on May 11, 2026, presenting itself as a global payments platform serving nearly 19 million customers and processing over $243 billion in cross-border volume in FY2026. According to the lawsuit, the Company's registration materials framed anti-money laundering and counter-terrorist financing compliance failures as hypothetical future risks. The complaint alleges that deficiencies described by U.S. regulators as "longstanding" were already present and material at that time.

Key AML Allegations for Shareholders

• The lawsuit contends regulatory risk disclosures materially understated existing anti-money laundering and counter-terrorist financing shortcomings at Wise's U.S. operations.
• The complaint alleges compliance weaknesses were characterized in conditional, forward-looking terms rather than as present conditions.
• Plaintiffs allege monitoring systems described as reviewing hundreds of data points in real time were inadequate to detect laundering, fraud, corruption and drug trafficking links.
• The lawsuit contends disclosure of a pending national trust bank application was positioned so as to minimize the risk that the charter would be denied.
• The complaint alleges investors purchased WSE securities at artificially inflated prices as a result.

"This case presents important questions about anti-money laundering disclosure obligations in the cross-border payments sector, particularly where regulators later described compliance shortcomings as longstanding," -- Joseph E. Levi, Esq.

Investors who purchased shares during the Class Period and suffered losses may be eligible to seek compensation.

Q: Who is eligible to join the WSE investor lawsuit? A: Investors who purchased WSE stock or securities between May 11, 2026 and July 23, 2026 and suffered financial losses may be eligible. Eligibility is based on purchase date and documented losses -- not on whether you still hold the shares.

Q: What is the WSE lead plaintiff deadline? A: The deadline to apply for lead plaintiff appointment is September 29, 2026. This deadline applies only to investors seeking to serve as lead plaintiff.
