Not to be confused with Wise (formerly TransferWise), which is also a kind of “banking as a service”.

Was a bit confused at first, then read the article.

For a moment I 100% panicked, it would have hurt us bad as a small business.

Absolutely wild, I honestly got concerned there for a moment… Wise (Transferwise) must be getting a lot of concerned emails about this…

Yeah I was a bit worried after seeing the headline and the article doesnt do much to clear that up. Thank you.

I'm glad it's not Wise, formerly transferwise, which proves to be a pretty useful product when moving money if you're moving countries.

they have one of those landing pages where you can read it as many times as you want and have no idea what they do

It's a great signal when people panic if another business similarly named to yours fails.

Frankly “former Wise” confuses more than it provides context. I’d remove it from the title.

Worst HN headline ever (and that's saying something), please change it to stop everyone freaking out about TransferWise!

+1 please either remove "formerly Wise" or add that it's not TransferWise.

To be fair, They had the "Wise" name first and only had to rebrand after TransferWise rebranded.

Still gave a major scare though.
