| What to compare | Wise balance cashback | Savings alternatives |
|---|---|---|
| What earns a return | Eligible ordinary EUR, GBP and USD cash balances in the EEA. | Wise Interest invests balances in funds; card rewards are another product. |
| Rate and payment | Wise sets variable cashback rates and pays monthly; it may change or stop the program. | Compare current net returns and whether the rate is variable or temporary. |
| Tax | Wise deducts 30% Belgian withholding before payment. Local tax or reclaim rules may also apply. | Compare tax treatment for your residence and personal circumstances. |
| Using both products | Money held in Interest or Stocks does not also earn cash cashback. | Choose which product holds each balance; do not add the returns together. |

Compare with Interest
Interest invests in funds and carries investment risk. It does not receive cashback on top.
Compare the net amount
