A new chapter for Expatica

We’re thrilled to announce that Wise has acquired Expatica.com. We’ve long admired Expatica’s commitment to the global expat community, and we believe our shared values make this the perfect step forward for both of us.

At Wise, our mission has always been to make international life easier. By bringing Expatica into the Wise family, we’re building on that shared purpose. Our goal is to honour the incredible legacy of the site while transforming it into the ultimate one-stop shop for expats everywhere. We’re committed to investing in Expatica to ensure it remains your most trusted resource for news, guidance, and community, no matter where in the world you choose to live.

We look forward to working with you to build a better world for all internationals.
