7.1 About your Wise Account

Your money is deposited in SGD (or in SGD equivalent) into one or both of the dedicated and segregated accounts held by us with each of DBS Bank Ltd (DBS) and the Oversea-Chinese Banking Corporation Limited (OCBC Bank) as our safeguarding institutions.
If money in your Wise Account is held in currency(ies) other than SGD, we will convert such money to SGD using either Reuters mid-market rates or where Reuters mid-market rates are unavailable, XE mid-market rates, before placing such SGD or SGD equivalent amounts with DBS and/or OCBC for safeguarding. We do not offer interest on monies in your balances. Interest on monies held on trust are not payable to you. All monies in the dedicated customer segregated accounts are held on trust by us for you. Such monies in the dedicated customer segregated accounts are always kept separately from the accounts we use to run Wise, and we will not use the money held in such accounts to repay any debts that we may owe to any other party. If we were to become insolvent, you will be able to make a claim for your funds from the segregated accounts. We’d return your money in the Wise Account to you in SGD, and where your monies held in Wise Account is held in currency(ies) other than SGD, we will use the Reuters mid-market rates or where Reuters mid-market rates unavailable, XE mid-market rates, to determine the SGD equivalent amount to be paid to you on the day when payout instruction is given. Please note that you may not get all your money back in SGD equivalent if (i) the funds in the dedicated and segregated accounts held by us with DBS and OCBC are insufficient to meet the payout instruction; or (ii) if the safeguarding institution becomes insolvent.
