not sure about this wise thing but i find it bit annoying to go for currency exchange when traveling especially withdrawing and the rates are not so good, for instance i am going to japan at dec

so my question is, what can i do with wise in this case? lets say i pump in 3k RM into wise, can i withdraw it in japan as yen cash?

only if you have the physical Wise debit card, then you can withdraw from ATMs.

Malaysia-issued Wise debit card rules on withdrawal:

On the mobile app, go to Manage > Account Limits > ATM Withdrawals > ATM fees, it'll show the specific limit unique to the issuing location as per Wise Terms of Use, as well as how much of your monthly limit has been utilised.

Sorry, what is quasi-cash transaction? I want to use it to transfer USD and SGD to Brokers in US and Banks in SG.

Refers to buying non-currency tokens that can be later converted to cash.

some examples: Casino chips, cryptocurrency, money order, traveller's cheque, lottery tickets, betting tokens. Certain e-wallets are considered quasi-cash.

Without specific details, what you want to do isn't considered quasi-cash, but currency conversion since you're sending to banking/finance entities, so you won't get charged as quasi-cash

This is considered security issue (excess funds) due to compliance requirements for non-business accounts based in Malaysia. It's been part of their Terms and Conditions of account usage for some time.
