Wise has acquired Expatica, an online resource for people navigating housing, healthcare, immigration, finance and everyday life abroad.
Founded in 2000, Expatica provides practical information for people relocating or living outside their home country.
Its content covers areas including housing, healthcare, immigration, work, finance and everyday life in a new country.
The platform recorded more than 7 million visits in 2025, with its largest audiences in France, Germany, Portugal and Spain.
Wise serves around 19 million people and businesses globally, including many customers who manage money across borders.
The acquisition comes as international migration remains significant.
Citing United Nations data, Wise noted that 304 million people were international migrants in 2024, equivalent to 3.7% of the world’s population.
Danny Butler, Head of Owned Sites at Wise, said,
“Expatica has spent years helping people make sense of life abroad with practical, locally relevant guidance. That makes it a strong fit for Wise, because we already support millions of people whose lives span borders.
When people are planning, moving and settling into life abroad, money is a big part of that experience – from getting paid to sending, spending and managing money across borders. Wise is built for those moments.”
Wise plans to continue investing in Expatica by expanding its content, local coverage, markets and languages over time.
The company said Expatica will complement its financial products by giving people access to information as they plan, move and settle abroad.
