How to Get Wise Prepaid Card

I have finally started to travel aboard and using a Visa card like my GoTyme and Gcash offers great Forex rate while we were at Singapore and Malaysia. I received an email from Wise stating that they now have prepaid cards available to order. I ordered mine right away and hoped that the card arrives home.

Here are the steps on getting yours:

1. Access your Wise account be it from the app or through the website and login.

2. Head out to Card > Order a New Card

3. Make sure that your name is spelled correct on the card, you have a few options on how it will look like on your card. I selected my full name.

4. You will be then asked for your delivery address.

5. Setup your 4-digit PIN. Make sure this is unique and not easily guessed.

6. Verify your identity.

7. Pay for your order, I selected free shipping yet the card does cost PHP369.60. There's a fee for credit card payments.

8. Then once all done, you will get to the confirmation screen.

9. On the main Cards page, you will see when your card should arrive. Says it should arrive on March 17th - but the local postman could not find my location and did not even attempted to call. I had to re-order a new card to try again which was also unsuccessful. 

Finally decided to expedite the order and paid for PHP800+ for DHL delivery and arrived on April 18th which was just 5 days wait time versus the free shipping which takes about 15 business days.

And it finally came, DHL notified me via email, sent a SMS and even called me that they are on the way!

The envelope includes your activation code and steps to follow. Pretty easy to go over. Here's a short clip on how to activate your card using the code from the envelope.

When using your card overseas, always check which ATM offers no fees when withdrawing your cash. Here's the steps below.
