Received MY Wise card this week and managed to activate/use it for chip & pin transaction.

However, it failed to get through contactless transaction yesterday, after activation.

Anyone faces similar problem ?

Thanks

It's 4-digit PIN and worked with chip & PIN transaction.

I just tried contactless at another store just now and the transaction went through successfully.

It's all good to go.

I faced the same problem as you. Tried chip and pin 1st time, then tried contactless at another store but failed.
Had to use chip and pin again and successful. Then tried 3rd store, still cannot use contactless. rclxub.gif
How did you manage to solve your problem? Maybe because I used all in the same day?

1st PIN activation(successful) and contactless(declined) transactions were at the same shop on different days.

Subsequent contactless transaction(successful) was at a different shop. I have not made any new transactions since then.

Maybe contactless is only accepted at certain outlets ?

Yes, seems like it. Guess it's just trial and error then.

Anyone tried using wise to withdraw money in Singapore? Is it the same steps as our ATM here and is it limited to specific banks?
*
Yes, tried at UOB atm. they will ask which account to withdraw from(savings, current, credit card cash advance).
I just chose credit card cash advance. no withdrawal fee if still within your atm withdrawal limit (less than RM1000 equivalent in foreign currency / twice a month)
means withdraw 100 sgd, they deduct 100 sgd from your wise account, that's it.

Pretty much unusable in so many shops in Malaysia.

I'd rather use MAE Card/OCBC debit card/bigpay. All zero markup, accepted everywhere I've tested so far.

not just malaysia, same thing in singapore, especially the contactless.
contactless gets rejected 50% of the time, even in singapore. But when i wave with bigpay or any other malaysian credit card, it works everytime.

what about those that are using it in europe /uk / australia etc... does paywave works everytime like it should?

what's the point of a multi currency card when it doesnt work overseas.

pin works

I see. PIN works for me too. But some places don't allow chip and pin, like vending machines.

hi all,
I have performed more than 5 times payment via insert card & PIN.
But my Wise contactless payment (aka payWave) still totally unable to use on any machine in Malaysia.
This is very inconvenient.

I have checked my payment method setting in Wise app, all payment method turned on already.

Any idea why? Any one manage to use contactless payment (payWave) in Malayisa?
Maybe I know which shop? so that I can go try it.

Try 3 Damansara parking. Take the parking card at entry then pay at the kiosk with Wise card before exit.

Last place I could think of which I managed to use contactless.
