At Wise, we’re on a mission to make financial services faster, simpler, and more accessible for everyone. To achieve our mission, we also need to safeguard our platform against financial crime and ensure our customers’ money is safe. The Mitigation Platform Squad plays a critical role in this by providing a highly scalable platform to orchestrate which information we need to request from our customers, and then have automations and Servicing Agents to review it. We enable Wise to remain compliant at scale.
We are developing the infrastructure that provides teams at Wise with insights into the operational cost and risk associated with their ownership of the Wise product. This empowers them to enhance the product, reducing Wise's cost for customers and enabling a smoother experience when additional information is required from them.
