UK fintech company Wise shareholders have voted to restructure the firm’s primary listing from London to New York.

Following this decision, investors at the money transfer firm approved its relisting plan. This plan includes a 10-year extension of Wise’s dual-class share structure, which provides additional voting rights to the founders.

In a statement, as reported by the Financial Times, Wise’s co-founder urged shareholders against accepting the relisting proposal, warning that governance changes could compromise the company’s core values. With over 90% of class A stock votes in favor and nearly 85% of class B stock backing the move, it appears the majority shares held sway.

Details of Wise’s Plan to Relocate Primary Listing

In early June 2025, Wise announced its intention to shift its main listing to New York. The company hoped this change would boost its appeal among US investors and streamline its expansion strategies in the region.

According to officials at the firm, moving to a primary US listing was expected to accelerate growth and provide capital market benefits. This move also aimed to enable shares to be traded on both a US stock exchange and the LSE, allowing Wise to better cater to evolving client needs and preferences.
