# Multi-Currency Interest Features Wise Debuts New Interest Feature for Canadian Customers By Kalin Ned | Published 2026-05-21 | Marketing Source: Trend Hunter, https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/multicurrency-interest References: [newswire](https://www.newswire.ca/news-releases/wise-introduces-first-of-its-kind-multi-currency-interest-feature-in-canada-883246509.html)  [Wise](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/international-currency-solutions) has introduced a first-of-its-kind multi-currency Interest feature for customers in Canada. This move will allow eligible users to earn market-leading returns on balances held in Canadian dollars, US dollars, Euros, and British pounds, all within a single Wise [multi-currency account](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/wise-budget) without needing to open separate accounts with different financial providers for each currency. Once opted into the multi-currency Interest feature, customers continue to hold, spend, send, and convert their money internationally from those balances with no penalties, no minimum balance requirements, and no lock-up periods. The rates individuals can earn as part of this feature include 2.22% on Canadian dollar balances, 3.14% on US dollar balances, 0.8% on Euro balances, an 2.21% on British pound balances. The feature can be activated in just a few taps within the Wise app, and it builds on the company's growing momentum in Canada, where its active customer base grew by more than 30% in fiscal year 2025. This growth is supported by Wise becoming a member of Payments Canada to gain direct access to local payment infrastructure for [faster and cheaper money movement](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/e-egypt).
