Action required: Mimo Balance is closing

Written by Emelie
Updated yesterday

Mimo Balance is being replaced by Mimo Wallet. Balance accounts provided by Modulr Finance Limited will close on 1 May 2026 and will be replaced by Mimo Wallet, provided by Airwallex (UK) Limited. Our aim is to keep the transition smooth so your clients can continue processing payments without interruption.

Who is affected?

Only organisations that currently use, or have previously used, a Mimo Balance account. If a client already uses Wallets only, no additional setup is required.

What you need to do

The required action depends on each client’s current setup:

A) Clients using Balance only (no Wallet yet)

A one-time Wallet setup is required in-app.

  • No cost for your firm or the client

  • Can be completed together with the client

  • Final sign-off is completed by a director (including liveness check)

B) Client already has a Wallet

You’ll need to:

  • Move any remaining funds out of Balance before 1 May 2026

  • Ensure future payments are processed from the Wallet

What happens if no action is taken?

If the Wallet setup isn’t completed by 1 May 2026 for clients who still rely on Balance, they won’t be able to process payments in Mimo. Any remaining funds will be safeguarded by Modulr and you'll need to contact us directly to arrange for their release.

Why we’re making this change

Mimo Wallet supports improved international payment capabilities, including payouts in 50+ currencies and the ability to hold funds in GBP, EUR, and USD.
