Yes, "Visa Platinum".

Does it carry additional benefits ? I doubt it for prepaid/debit card ..

Of coz ekyc done during card application otherwise how on earth to print your name on the card

Yes check the credit limit as it can store usd5000 on the card

OCBC:
No, it’s a white slim profile card terminal

CIMB:
Yes, it’s the grey bulky terminal; dinosaur looking terminal

Oh ok. Just choosing how your name appear on card is "KYC". Fine.

Anyway, thecurious I have not encountered any step which require me to top up during the whole application process. I am not sure if there is a need to top up during the activation process, however. Looking at previous post, it seems like I need to spend with the card at least once, in which case a prior deposit is needed.

My first step in ordering the card is exactly the same as shown in Ziet's video (time: 7:06) https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=8-2kIL1V5zs

The "verified your identity" part is done for my case (which I think is the "true KYC" part), the only thing left is address filling, choosing how name appears, courier method and potentially payment of 10 MYR in case the promotional period is gone.

Will update more here later when card arrives.

Oh my Wise card has arrived.

It's earlier than the predicted 22nd Jan by about one week, sender's address seems to be from Singapore.

According to the official FAQ, there is no need to "activate", just use it as you need (i.e. pay with PIN to enable contactless payment), check balance with ATM to enable ATM functions. No charges of 10 MYR whatsoever.

I will keep the card in the drawer for now

OCBC probably software problem hence not supported while CIMB should be hardware and software combo problem

KYC when you applying for the card will ask for ID documentation for it hence that’s the KYC for you

This will only appear for those who are new to Wise prior to dec 2021 while those existing accounts doesn’t need this step

Then you should have said earlier...

Facepalming doesn't resolve the misunderstanding.

Common sense tells you that why have some KYC process to onboard because of the account opening period

Thanks for the update

Having the card alone isn't exciting. THere is so much fees for withdrawals. What the real draw?

Tested with Maybank terminals at McDonald’s so the issue seems with the banks side as it is the problem limited to CIMB and OCBC machines

Did anyone try with PBB machine?

Cheaper exchange rate and faster transfer of FX

Bruh, the point of the card is not to withdraw your foreign currency abroad; but to use it to pay for stuff with merchants who support Visa. You only need to withdraw if the merchant really stubborn af and only accepts cash. Tell me which is more convenient, having to manually calculate each note of foreign currency or just wave/swipe/PIN each transaction.

Only HLB's terminal can process NFC and all others failed right?

Let me know what merchant use which terminal and I'll try to keep updating the list.
I'll be happy if you can share with us alternative solutions.

I tried to use at 99. Failed. Its using the orange colour terminal which accepts TnGo ewallet, etc..

Both wave n pin didn't work at Donki

if you top up with ringgit... & spend/withdraw in ringgit... this is really facepalm ah...

one or the other must be in foreign currency otherwise no point

for now we folks here just testing pin & wave...

Pin also declined? I'm first time knowing this.
I thought even paywave declined, Pin should be 100% accepted??

McDonald’s using Maybank no issue with wave or pin

Ask the cashier to reset the terminal as it prone to hibernate and lose connection

Is it using CIMB? If yes then it the bank side

Nothing to do with the machine it is bank side
