Wise Multi-Currency Account Review 2023: Wise Assets, Cards, Fees & MORE

[@BDUDE]

8:16 Hey Monito, I have a workaround for this. To use the same currency for stocks and interest at the same time, you can create separate jars each for stocks and interest.

[@Monitodotcom]

Hey B-Dude, that's a great point, thank you for sharing and I can't believe I didn't think of that! I'll add a correction note to the description box of the video. ^Jonny

[@BDUDE]

@@Monitodotcom Absolutely :) Thanks for the quick and awesome informative video as usual ♥

[@benchar227]

Honestly, at least for Greece, it seems better than any other card from our banks. And it's free.99

[@Monitodotcom]

Thanks for sharing Ben!

Given that I want to go online shopping on an international site (for example buying Casetify phone cases), will Wise card able to do that? Items sold in Casetify website are in USD currency, while I am in the Philipines?

[@Monitodotcom]

Yes absolutely, WISE would be a great card to use for a foreign transaction in USD. Just load the card with PHP and make the transaction using your WISE card. ^Jonny

Sadly not available in Cambodia and not able to get a card from Thailand due to residency restriction.

[@Ornil_onik]

Is it available in Indonesia? Can I takes this card in here ?

[@LaSoldier505]

What I want to know is, im in the US, so how do i use the card to buy something online from a different country in their currency? Example: lets say I have US & Mexico funds in my account and i want to go to a mexico online store to buy something using the mexico funds? Do I need to get two different cards ? One for each currency? Also, when the Mexico site asks for the card details, it wont let me input the REAL USA Details because the cards Address HAS to be based in that Country (in this example Mexico). What do i do??? Please help 🙏

[@Monitodotcom]

Hey Luigi! It's a lot simpler than you think, you just use your WISE card to pay for something on the Mexican website, and WISE will deduct the money from your Mexican Peso balance. If you don't have enough money, they'll then deduct from the next currency you do have that would give you the best exchange rate. You only have one WISE card and you use it for every transaction, no matter the currencies or country. That address problem is tricky, WISE do have an address in Mexico (wise.com/help/articles/2974131/what-are-the-wise-group-entities) so why don't you try to enter that? That may work but I must say I can't be sure as I haven't encountered an issue like this before. ^Jonny

8:01 I've been holding as interest for a few months now but I can't figure out how you actually withdraw or spend the gains as you say.

[@Monitodotcom]

Hey TWIN SUNS. If you've invested a Wise balance, for example, your GBP, and put that into Stocks or Interest then you can just spend up to 97% freely. Just use your WISE card or withdraw money from an ATM. If you wanted to avoid this happening and you wanted to ring-fence your investment then you would need to put the money into a Jar and then transfer that to Interest or Stocks. Hope that helps, I found the below-linked article which should help you. ^Jonny wise.com/help/articles/7kcbhoEHqqwuWEvPLQpwJ7/managing-your-balance-or-jar-when-its-held-as-stocks?id=7kcbhoEHqqwuWEvPLQpwJ7&slug=managing-your-currency-account-or-jar-when-its-held-as-stocks

Hi again, this is @卖泳裤. I am interested into getting a wise credit card. as being told, I should probably get another card for revolut but this idea seems sound to me.

Hello can we use wise card with wechat pay ?

[@Monitodotcom]

Hey Firdaus. I'm not 100% sure. I did a little research, and as far as I can tell, WeChat Pay accepts VISA so you might be able to use the WISE card as it's VISA. Sorry I couldn't find anything concrete! ^Jonny

[@Nellysdomain]

Hi are they Crypto friendly with deposit to exchange etc ? Great video thanks

[@Monitodotcom]

Hey Nelson, unfortunately Wise aren't very 'crypto friendly'. Revolut are because they also have their own exchange so they won't block any transactions you make to another exchange. Definitely check them out if you haven't already. You can sign-up here if you choose to: bit.ly/36SUefP ^Jonny

Hey Monito, I'm a Singaporean resident currently in Qatar for work and won't be returning back to my country for a year or so. Do you think if I open a Wise Singapore account wise can deliver the card to Qatar?

[@Monitodotcom]

Hey! I'm 99% sure you cannot do this. Wise will ask for Singaporean proof of residency and the residency you provide will be where the card is shipped. While you could likely open the account and just use a virtual card, you won't be able to get the physical card. Could you just use a Wise virtual card with Apple or Google Pay? And is it an option to get someone in Singapore to ship you the card? ^Jonny

[@Monitodotcom]

Ahh yes, I should have guessed! Both Revolut and WISE could be good choices. Although I think Revolut would be the best. With their free Standard account, you would get $1,000 of fee-free currency exchange which WISE does not offer, they also use the mid-market rate like WISE, AND their ATM withdrawal fees a better than Wise. Our affiliate link (bit.ly/3tYY1jO) will also give you 3 months of Revolut Premium for free which has unlimited currency exchange so you can just exchange USD for any currency for free and at the mid-market rate. This is pretty good! Let me know if you have any further questions. ^Jonny

Hey Sagar, are you familiar with Curve? Because you only want to link one card it could be a nice way for you to earn cash back for free. Just link your Wise card to it and you'll earn as you spend.

I am sorry i am new to e banking 😅 Is transferring money from revolut to wise has fees? And is the vice versa (wise to revolut ) has free? Which is better to link to paypal

[@Raptors007]

@Monito yesterday I got call from niyo, and I was told that I am eligible for niyo. But in the present situation is niyo good as there are some restriction for niyo from the reserve Bank of india. I won't be doing any domestic transactions, everything will be in europe. So in that case going forward with niyo will be difficult itseems

[@Monitodotcom]

I believe the RBI is relaxing the restrictions on Niyo, and they're hoping to have everything sorted this month. Check out the link below from their community forums. Given your limited choice in India, I think if Niyo is back to normal then do consider going with them.

B-Dude is correct, you would need proof of residency in Europe. If you could prove that you lived in Europe with your family, you could then receive the card to your family's address in Spain and then use it. Unfortunately, there aren't any digital banks that compare to Wise in Algeria. ^Jonny
