🔴 Wise is trading 4.9% down today as U.S. regulators deny bank charter application

Wise is trading 4.9% down at £861.00 after the U.S. Office of the Comptroller of the Currency (OCC) denied its application for a national trust bank charter.

• Regulators cited historical anti-money laundering (AML) compliance deficiencies as the primary reason for the rejection.
• The decision has fueled investor concerns regarding the company's U.S. growth ambitions and broader regulatory risk profile, leading to a sharp pullback in share price.
