Background

In connection with the registration statement on Form S-8 (the Registration Statement) filed by the Company today with the US Securities and Exchange Commission pursuant to the Securities Act, you have asked us to furnish our opinion as to the legality of the securities being registered under the Registration Statement. The Registration Statement relates to the registration by the Company under the Securities Act of the Plan Shares (as defined below) each authorized for issuance pursuant to and in accordance with the terms contained in the Replacement Award Deed dated 8 May 2026 made between the Company and the Award Holders (as defined therein) in respect of the grant of certain Replacement Awards thereunder (the Replacement Award Deed).

Under the relevant Plan (as defined in the Replacement Award Deed) (each an EIP and together the EIPs) the Company has granted certain Replacement Awards subject to and as defined in the Replacement Award Deed relating to, amongst other things, the Plan Shares.

In this opinion:

non-assessable means, in relation to any Plan Shares, that the consideration for which the Company agreed to issue those Plans Shares has been paid in full to the Company, so that no further sum is payable to the Company by any holder of those Plan Shares in respect of the purchase price of those Plan Shares; and

the memorandum and articles of association of the Company in force as at the date hereof (the M&A);

the Replacement Award Deed;

the Plans (as defined in the Replacement Award Deed);

minutes of a meeting of the board of directors of the Company held on 8 April 2026, which include (without limitation) the directors approving and/or ratifying the Documents and the preparation and filing of the Registration Statement;

the certificate of incorporation of the Company;

a consent to issue shares dated 17 June 2025 issued to the Company by the Jersey Financial Services Commission (the Commission) under the Control of Borrowing (Jersey) Order 1958, as amended (COBO) (the Article 2 Consent);

For the purposes of this opinion, we have, with the consent of the Company, relied upon certificates and other assurances of directors and other officers of the Company as to matters of fact, without having independently verified such factual matters.

For the purposes of this opinion, we have not:

examined any other document relating to the EIPs or the Replacement Awards (including, without limitation, any document incorporated by reference in, or otherwise referred to in, the Replacement Award Deed, Plans, and/or Registration Statement); and

undertaken any exercise that is not described in this opinion and, in particular, we have not conducted any searches or enquiries in relation to the Company at any public office or registry in Jersey.

Assumptions

that the Plans have been properly adopted and duly authorised by Wise plc and/or Wise Group plc and that each EIP has been, and will at all times be, (i) operated in accordance with its rules and (ii) legal, valid, binding and enforceable in accordance with its terms;

that all existing or future Plan Shares to be issued or transferred under any EIPs have or will be duly authorised by the board of directors of the Company (or a duly authorised committee thereof or a duly authorised person or persons appointed by the board of directors as an administrator of the EIPs) and issued or transferred in accordance with the M&A;

the authenticity, accuracy, completeness and conformity to original documents of all copy documents, memoranda, extracts and certificates of officers of the Company examined by us;

that the signatures on all documents examined by us are the genuine signatures of persons authorised to execute or certify such documents;

the accuracy and completeness in every respect of all certificates of directors or other officers of the Company given to us for the purposes of giving this Opinion and that (where relevant) such certificates would be accurate if they have been given as of the date hereof;

that in approving the Company’s entry into the Replacement Award Deed and the transactions contemplated by them, the directors of the Company were acting in the best interests of the Company and for a proper purpose;

that words and phrases used in the Registration Statement have the same meaning and effect as they would if the Registration Statement were governed by Jersey law;

that no other event occurs after the date hereof which would affect the opinions herein stated;

that there is no provision of the law or regulation of any jurisdiction other than Jersey which would have any adverse implication in relation to the opinion expressed hereunder; and
