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?

uh, i think WISE becomes very greedy.

I noticed there is a fee to Transfer MYR to a Local Malayian Bank

it used to be free.

Actually they already started charging quite a while ago.

Last year in Jan when i started using Wise to transfer funds, i tested sending a small amount back to my Australian account (original funds were deposited from my Aussie acct in Aussie dollars) and they already charged a fee then so it not something new.

i can confirm for now, transfering SGD to SG Bank Account got no charge. I did it yesterday.

The reason why I am shocked because "IT DOEST MAKE SENSE".

SGD to SG Bank = NO CHARGE
MYR to MY Bank = FEE

We all know Instant Transfer and DuitNow Transfer between Local Malaysian Banks are free. Why WISE is charging us a fee?

I wonder if I have some physical cash like SGD, HKD can I transfer into my wise account through certain bank at Malaysia? And it remain as SGd and HKD inside wise. I don’t want to bring to money changer.
Then when I visit those country again I use wise to withdraw or pay at that country money.

TNG Remittance do have potential. Reason is you can topup TNG using Credit card

Here is my enquiry:
1. Can you remit using topup from credit card?
2. How instant is the transfer? WISE is INSTANT
