Wise, a global technology company specializing in international money transfers, announced Tuesday a 200% expansion of its Austin office, bringing its total footprint to 90,000 square feet across three floors in Domain Tower II.
The expansion reinforces the company’s commitment to North America and positions Austin as a critical hub for the London-based fintech firm. Wise employs more than 700 people in the U.S. and continues hiring across engineering, product, marketing and customer support functions.
“The expansion of our Austin office hub is a powerful testament to the opportunity we have in North America,” said Isabel Naidoo, chief people officer at Wise. “Austin’s dynamic and developing technology landscape serves as an exciting backdrop that will support the Wise team as we continue to build offerings that meet the international money needs of our growing customer base.”
The Domain office houses cross-functional teams and features workspace designed to promote collaboration and innovation. Amenities include a multi-faith prayer room, quiet room and wellness room with massage chairs.
Design elements reflect Austin’s character, with ceiling fixtures inspired by the State Capitol building, wave-shaped furniture echoing the Colorado River and bat-themed murals created by employees’ children.
The expansion comes as Wise targets North American customers seeking alternatives to high-fee wire transfers and slow international transactions. The company’s mission centers on eliminating barriers in cross-border money movement.
Mayor Kirk Watson praised the investment.
“Wise is a great example of the kind of innovative, high-growth businesses that make Austin a leading hub for tech companies,” Watson said. “It demonstrates that Austin remains one of the best places to start and grow a business.”
The announcement follows continued growth in Austin’s technology sector, which has attracted numerous global companies seeking access to technical talent and favorable business conditions.
