If u not sure u cant use it overseas then why u bought it? Obviously if u has read their website , it caters to multicurrency account . Can receive money From overseas . Spend money overseas . Some more its based in singapore . Better just use BigPay or our local debit cards can also use overseas ShakaZulu, max_cavalera, and 1 other liked this post

I was fooled once cos their marketing cleverly claimed that there is no fees but this time, it was levied by the corresponding ATM. The THB200 charge is even more expensive than our traditional banks |

QUOTE(pisces88 @ Apr 29 2023, 06:35 PM) 200-300baht per transaction, no matter amount? if withdraw alot maybe ok depending on rate.. how much is the rate for thai baht in wise? You need to check the respective banks, they can have different withdrawal limit. I'm quite sure whatever the limit, it's not worth the extra 200 baht. |

QUOTE(jaapers @ Apr 29 2023, 06:04 PM) Tip: dont use wise to withdraw from ATM in thailand, their ATMs charge 200 or 300 baht withdrawal fee.ย Not worth it. QUOTE(tolongking @ Apr 29 2023, 06:07 PM) Exactly. I was fooled once cos their marketing cleverly claimed that there is no fees but this time, it was levied by the corresponding ATM. The THB200 charge is even more expensive than our traditional banks I know about the surchargeBut was desperate for extra cash that time Extra tip for those who want to withdraw - Look for Aeon ATM, their fee is the lowest iinm at 150 THB. The withdrawal fee varies depending on the bank. This post has been edited by ZeneticX: Apr 29 2023, 11:18 PM |

QUOTE(ZeneticX @ Apr 29 2023, 11:13 PM) I know about the surcharge That's just shitty business of thai bank. I withdraw from ATM machine in Japan and it only charge a maximum of 220yen. But wise also has limit of monthly free amount you can withdraw without any fees. After that amount, it's 1.75% . I still find it more cheaper than changing currency in money changer. That's when I calculate YEN anyways.But was desperate for extra cash that time Extra tip for those who want to withdraw - Look for Aeon ATM, their fee is the lowest iinm at 150 THB.

I use BigPay it's very convenient when purchasing on Amazon. Not sure about this Wise but many users here recommended BigPay. |

Wise user since 2019 and now my daily multi-purpose card.
It's definitely become a lot more useable over the years. - Recently compatible with Samsung Pay, Google Wallet, Apple Pay, Grab etc. with almost no need for the physical card. - Create unlimited virtual cards (limit to 3 at a time) for one-time use purchases or secondary user. - Tap function works in 99% of places/countries I've visited. - converts at mid-market FX rates in real-time settlement vs days with banks - tracks expenses with downloadable reports |

Obviously if u has read their website , it caters to multicurrency account . Can receive money From overseas . Spend money overseas . Some more its based in singapore . Wise better. Can store multiple currencies in your account. Bigpay cannot cantBetter just use BigPay or our local debit cards can also use overseas |

Wise is awesome. Been using it to make international transfers and currency conversion. You save shit tons of fee with wise. Besides they use actual exchange rate and only charge you a small fee for conversion.
Been using in some EU countries, works fine. But keep in mind that paywave is not working here. Don't know why. |

QUOTE(bananajoe @ May 15 2023, 10:04 PM) Ya, as long ATM machine supports VISA thing. Most banks got VISA. But wise processing time take some time to read. Key in 4 pin then press green button. I select savings account then select balance inquiry. I heard some chip and pin terminal cannot support 4 pin digit since Malaysia mainly use 6 PIN Digit. I don't want to try Chip and Pin yet. No money yet. After activation, then Contactless and Magnetic Swipe no grey out. Will show which bank was last use. Mine got show Public Bank. Since went to Public Bank ATM help my to activate securesign thing. This post has been edited by FusionXY: May 15 2023, 10:34 PM |

QUOTE(FusionXY @ May 15 2023, 10:32 PM) Ya, as long ATM machine supports VISA thing. Nice! Thanks broMost banks got VISA. But wise processing time take some time to read. Key in 4 pin then press green button. I select savings account then select balance inquiry. I heard some chip and pin terminal cannot support 4 pin digit since Malaysia mainly use 6 PIN Digit. I don't want to try Chip and Pin yet. No money yet. After activation, then Contactless and Magnetic Swipe no grey out. Will show which bank was last use. Mine got show Public Bank. Since went to Public Bank ATM help my to activate securesign thing. |

good thing about wise is that, if u work in IT, you know most commercial software aint cheap in malaysia... but when u buy it in USD, it will be cheaper like MYR 50 or more.

Always pay in their local currency. Don't convert. The main feature of Wise is having a good conversion rate, if you convert first then you already lost out. Edit: sorry, I read your question wrong. Thought you were asking if you want to pay in foreign currency or pay in MYR. Answer to your question: Tbh, there's no diff if you convert the currency in the card or just leave Wise to auto-convert, same rate anyway. Unless you know the rate is damn low for that period, then you can convert first. This post has been edited by tifosi: Oct 3 2023, 06:48 PM |

And not your bank account money that is linked to your debit card. |

I am in Tokyo Japan right now. Wise is definitely the card to have n any place that used Visa, Wise is accepted.
Rates are as quoted on a daily basis. A small amount of Yen is advisable as some quote cash only. |

QUOTE(Ttbatdtptsm @ Mar 20 2024, 11:12 PM) Is it better to convert rm to Thb via the app then scan/swipe in local Thb ( wise will auto select ) or just let wise / visa convert the rate From myr to Thb. both equal tho, its just like forex/investmentif u foresee rate will be higher time u travel, then exchange 1st if u foresee rate lower time u travel, then let it convert using spot rate I didnt care much since rate usually wont fluctuate too much unlike my JPY, which I converted much earlier during MCO, when Yen rate very nice, earned ~10% if convert back to MYR during time I travel to JP |

QUOTE(deadboy 164 @ Mar 22 2024, 11:13 PM) I normally just tap n use as per daily rate. Sometimes for all you know it evens out though everyday fluctuates but if u think it's very good rate then change first in your wallet. I've use wise in japan , Australia , Europe ,etc n it gives me better rate than I change cash. Best part is I use my apply pay n pay everywhere. Sometimes some places use physical card. Sometimes I wonder why do ppl still use a bank credit card. Like paying for Agoda n booking hotels normal credit card charges higher rate plus foreign currency fee but wise gives so much better rate. If anyone want to sign up for wise can pm me for referral link. |
