what kind of hidden charges did BP charge now? last time it used to be pretty good and transparent
but I went with wise anyway coz it has more currency that I need
loved using it and since now also got Apple Pay integration, I feel better about it

i used tng visa, bp and wise in previous trips

wise so far the best in terms of transparency and ease of use

if you are an iphone user u can straight away use the digital card for apple pay. no need to wait for a physical card to be sent to you

BP impose charges for top up using credit card.
Also, wise can put in apple wallet and google wallet. Quite convenient

Wise is better to use but when it comes to topup, bigpay win.

Don't need to talk about cc because wise don't support cc

But bigpay got duitnow transfer. Wise have to use FPX

Or can transfer to Morgan bank or something but takes time to reflect. Only FPX is instant.

If you put ringgit, it will auto convert when you use it in HK (follow the latest rate).

Or if you think the rate is good now, you can convert it to HKD first before going to HK (lock the current rate).

Wise u can store foreign exchange when it's low..i.e. did save alot of jpy but still haven't spend it, air tix macam yahudi RM 3k+ if travel in next two weeks.

Used to love bigpay as reload thru credit card without charges, now charge 1 percent everytime if CC, beat the purpose of me using it as 'e-wallet' kind last time, still keeping it for occasional travel overseas and insurance monthly premium deduction
