Wise Plc is rolling out everyday bank accounts in the UK as it seeks to take up more market share from longtime banks and other fintechs.

The London-based money transfer company is launching an account that will hold money and pay out a 3.26% variable interest rate on balances, according to a statement Monday. Customers will also be able to sign up for direct debit for recurring payments.
