Fintech firm Wise has expanded its Asia Pacific hub in Singapore with the opening of a new office at Paya Lebar Quarter.

The newly unveiled 31,800 sqft office is 25% larger than its previous location, making it Wise’s largest office in Singapore to date.

Yesterday, the Vulcan Post team had the opportunity to tour their new headquarters, and needless to say, we were thoroughly impressed. Here’s a look at the space:

Located on the seventh floor of PLQ 3, Wise houses almost 600 staff at its Singapore office.

The fintech firm’s office design draws inspiration from Asia Pacific’s cultural heritage and is divided into five distinct zones—each representing one of the five feng shui elements: metal, earth, water, wind and wood.

Beyond individual workstations, the office also embraces an open-concept layout with various collaborative areas like this one, which is conveniently located next to their main pantry./ Image Credit: Wise

Adding to its functionality, the new space boasts 40% more meeting rooms than Wise’s previous workspace, and each is uniquely inspired by Asian folklore.

During our visit, we spotted several creatively named rooms—some were clever, while others were downright punny. Here are a few highlights:

Throughout the office, local artistry is also on display—pieces by Samuel Xun, Andy Yang, Ezzam Rahman, and Bridget Tay, among other artists, add character to the space.

And now comes the best part.

To support employee well-being and productivity, Wise has thoughtfully incorporated a dedicated wellness space into their new office, ensuring that rest and relaxation are just a few steps away.

In addition to the massage pods and nap rooms, Wise also offers parent rooms and multi-faith rooms, ensuring the office can accommodate all employees’ needs.

This year, Wise was named as one of the best employers in the Asia Pacific region by the Financial Times for fostering an “inclusive and positive work environment.”

And after touring their office, it’s easy to see why they earned that recognition.

After all, having a workspace designed for both productivity and well-being makes a world of difference for employees.
