We can’t onboard every type of business — if you don’t see the option to switch a Jar or balances to Interest or Stocks, that means we can’t onboard your business. We’ll let you know when that changes.

What happens if I hold my money in Interest or Stocks and I move countries?

Any money that you invested in a balance or Jar before you moved countries will remain invested. 

Once you’ve moved countries:

  • You can continue to add money into existing Interest and Stocks balances or Jars — and we'll invest it as usual.

  • You can't switch other balances or Jars to Interest or Stocks, until you move back to a country where they are available.

  • If you decide to switch your invested balances or Jars back to cash, you can't switch that balance or Jar back to Interest or Stocks.

There are some exceptions:

  • US or Israel – if your new address is in the US or Israel, we’ll switch your invested balances and Jars back to cash. This means we’ll sell all your units as soon as the address has been updated. 

  • Canada – if you move from Singapore and your new address is in Canada, we’ll switch any USD balances or Jars invested in Interest back to cash. This means we’ll sell all your units as soon as the address has been updated.


Can I use Interest and Stocks if I’m a US citizen/tax payer?

Not yet. Because of how our fund partner is regulated we can’t onboard US citizens/tax payers. You can’t switch your balances and Jars to Interest or Stocks if you have US dual citizenship either. 

While Wise Interest isn't available in the US, there are other ways you can earn interest through Wise.
