This is my experience with Wise.

Contactless 90%, if not 100%, of the time doesn't work when I was overseas.

To solve this issue, I put it into my Google Wallet instead and never wave my physical Wise card.

If like that, why still need contactless? It's because contactless is more convenient.

Doesn't matter physical or contactless, Wise exchange rate for both are the same. Wise doesn't give you better exchange rate just because you use physical card

Why not use TnG ewallet? They have alipay you can use in money countries. Good rate also for Thai Baht.

Some places cannot lepas. If ayam mistaken the shops must support Alipay+ (Alipay no plus cannot lepas).

Good thing about TnG ewallet is you can use it to pay BTS tickets at the kiosks.

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

top up using CC 1%

Cross border charge 1.5%

Might as well use CC since the charge is about the same
