QUOTE(tadashi987 @ Jul 4 2022, 06:00 AM) yep second that, tried here in UK for a week, the contactless failed almost every single time, can't remember any successful wave Hi, I'm going to UK next month. Would appreciate your advice . Did you face any issue using the WISE card for even BigPay contactless succeeded more frequently than Wise card  a) withdrawing pounds from ATM ? b) pay using PIN transactions ? Thanks |

QUOTE(honsiong @ Sep 16 2022, 11:40 PM) I managed to withdraw GBP from Travelex ATM at airport but it costs RM 10 + GBP 3. Omg, RM10 & 3GBP is steep ! I thought its supposed to be free. Will avoid Travelex machine. Thanks for the advice on the amount of cash needed BTW UK has gone pretty cashless, you dont need > GBP 50 cash per week per person IMO.  |

QUOTE(honsiong @ Sep 17 2022, 04:11 AM) Eh my bad, RM 10 is by bigpay, but Travelex charged GBP 3 anyway. Okay, thanks for clarifying. I've changed some notes at money changer here already for standby purposes, so I should be good to go !Try your luck finding free ATMs on tripadvisor forum? Since UK is pretty much cashless, I still advise against withdrawing cash there, just change a bit at mid valley. |

Hi,
A company in US is reimbursing me USD 180 and requesting for my bank account details. Is it better to receive this via Wise USD account or to our local bank ? Anyone faced any issues receiving money transfer using Wise ? I'm worried my fund may get stuck. They are asking for bank name. Do I use the name in the Wise app (Community Federal Savings Bank) or Wise? Thanks. |
