Sell USDC for British Pound (GBP) through Wise.
Wise GBP suits UK and UK-adjacent sellers who keep a pounds balance in Wise. It is a good alternative to Monzo when you want the wider Wise account rather than a single UK bank app. Fiat moves directly between buyer and seller through Wise; the USDC leg settles through ZKP2P smart contracts on Base.
