Wise announced in February 2025 that it would close its Tampa office and lay off more than 307 employees, consolidating its Americas operations into hubs in Austin, New York, and São Paulo. The London-based payments company filed a WARN notice with Florida authorities on February 7, with terminations scheduled to roll out in phases starting April 8 and continuing through November. Affected roles included due diligence senior agents, customer support specialists, and customer support associates, among others. Workers received at least 60 days notice and were offered the option to relocate or reapply for open positions at other offices. The closure followed a $2.5 million CFPB penalty for remittance violations. A company spokesperson said the change was intended to strengthen collaboration as the business expands in the Americas.
