CFPB Amends Wise Consent Order, Reducing Fine to $45,000

The Consumer Financial Protection Bureau issued an amended consent order on May 15, 2025, superseding its January 30, 2025 order against Wise. The amendment requires Wise to pay a revised civil penalty of approximately $45,000 and to redress harmed consumers. The change aligns the penalty with the Consumer Financial Protection Act and recent guidance rescissions.

Why it matters: The amendment demonstrates CFPB enforcement of consumer‑financial protection rules for remittance providers and adjusts penalties based on updated legal guidance.
