    1. 4

      Good · “Open an account” sits on the opening screen: one main button, full width, in thumb reach.

    2. 5

      Good · The headline says what you get, sending money abroad for less, with its proof beside it: 50+ currencies, no hidden fees.

    1. 6

      Good · At every decision point, one filled main button, one text link. Never two that compete.

  3. Wise’s Send money: arrival screen, captured 3 July 2026. Pins: 1, Bad; 2, Bad.

    03Send money: arrival

    1. 1

      Bad · On arrival, a help pop-up, plus a floating “Ask” button, covers the transfer calculator. The “You send” field sits behind help nobody asked for.

    2. 2

      Bad · A visitor from Pakistan lands on the US site. The switch is a text banner that takes about 15% of the opening screen, not an automatic choice or a main button.

What works

The score

96 out of 100

no critical finding

Every mark that counts names its rule. One critical finding caps the whole rating. The score assesses the site against those rules. It is not a sales forecast.

We show what is good, what is bad, never the fix. The fix is what clients pay for.
