Anyone know if wise remit swift / tt in customer name? My broker needs the “bank account” to be in my same name..

I guess Forex?
The transfer will appear as Wise Payments - REF (Depends on what you put for REF)

Hi, i have the Wise card and it's not being used. Is there any benefit of using it locally?

Secondly, i read that we can't send/receive money to any other banks accounts besides our own name, is this correct?

family members is okay.

local no benefit. good for other currency usage

eToro stopped accepting prepaid card topups recently so Wise no longer works there. Asked them why and they said it was their Finance department's decision. So if you still use them you're stuck with either CC or Debit Cards for quick topups. Not sure if Bigpay still works since I stopped using it ever since I heard about their change from MC to Visa. Bank transfers might still work for a minimum of $500 but their bank is apparently in the UK so I have no idea what fees will be involved there.

Wise is prepaid?

Wise does have banking info though. Or am I missing something.

Try transfer from Wise UK wallet to etoro UK bank?

Wise Visa debit card uses the currency balance in your Wise account.

Example if you buy a USD product online, you can deposit USD XXX into it first then swipe at the website. The card will auto deduct the USD balance.
If don't have USD balance it will convert your other currencies in your account to become USD in order to go through (with some charges).

Oh, the visa debit card.

Then skip that cards usage and straight wise UK wallet with the banking info transfer and try i guess 👀

Sorry, I couldn't find an official thread for Wise. Do point me in the correct direction if there is.

Meanwhile, first time exploring into wise, compared and read through as much as I can think of, but I'm still trying to sort out all the information in my head.

Is it worth the wise card just for the occasional travel overseas only once or twice a year? as compared to BigPay. I have no experience using cards overseas, then I got Bigpay to try, just then Covid happened.

No other intentions for now (such as local spendings, investments, shopping)


Edit: After posting this, I realized I am still much confused the Wise works. I'll reevaluate my understanding on the whole Wise thing.
