This account is designed to enable you to send and hold money in a range of currencies. So, it makes sense that the card aims to help you spend overseas for less. You can spend online and in stores in over 40 currencies and 160 countries and territories. <\/p><p>You can sign up for a Wise account in a matter of minutes via the app or online. As part of the application process, you can choose to order the Wise card. Once you\u2019ve completed your application and been approved, you\u2019ll be able to use your digital Wise card immediately. <\/p><p>UK and EEA residents can also get a Wise eco card, made of biodegradable material, which will be sent out in the post.<\/p><h3>How does it work?<\/h3><p>You can use the Wise card to pay for items online in any currency or when you\u2019re on holiday overseas. If you have the currency you\u2019re spending in your account, there\u2019s no fee. If you don\u2019t have the currency you need in your Wise account, it\u2019ll be converted for you. Wise uses the mid-market exchange rate to do this. <\/p><p>A fee will be applied to each conversion and this tends to vary between 0.3% and 0.9%, depending on the currency.<\/p><p>If you want to withdraw cash on your Wise card, you can make 2 free cash withdrawals per month, up to a total of \u00a3200. Exceed these limits and fees apply:<\/p><table class=\"luna-table\"><thead class=\"luna-table__header\"><tr><th scope=\"col\"><\/th><th scope=\"col\">Less than \u00a3200 per month<\/th><th scope=\"col\">More than \u00a3200 per month<\/th><\/tr><\/thead><tbody class=\"luna-table__body\"><tr><th scope=\"row\">1-2 withdrawals per month<\/th><td data-title=\"Heading 2\">Free<\/td><td data-title=\"Heading 3\">1.75% of the amount over \u00a3200<\/td><\/tr><tr><th scope=\"row\">3 or more withdrawals per month<\/th><td data-title=\"Heading 2\">50p per withdrawal<\/td><td data-title=\"Heading 3\">50p + 1.75% of the amount over \u00a3200<\/td><\/tr><\/tbody><\/table><p>It\u2019s easy and straightforward to manage your account and card through the Wise app where you\u2019ll be notified of all your transactions. <\/p><h3>Is the Wise card safe?<\/h3><p>Wise isn\u2019t a bank which means your money will not be protected by the <a href=\"https:\/\/www.finder.com\/uk\/what-is-the-fscs\">Financial Services Compensation Scheme<\/a>. However, Wise is authorised by the Financial Conduct Authority (FCA) under the Electronic Money Regulations 2011. As it\u2019s an e-money provider, it must hold your cash in a segregated account which means you should still get it back if Wise ceases trading.<\/p><p>Should you misplace your card, you can easily freeze it within the app and unfreeze it again when you find it. Wise also has 24\/7 anti-fraud measures in place and 2-factor authentication on all Wise accounts.<\/p><p>Note that if you hold any money with Wise\u2019s Assets feature, which is an investment service and includes stocks and interest, your money is held in separate accounts which is protected under the FSCS, up to \u00a385,000 per person. <\/p><h3>Customer reviews<\/h3><p>Wise scores highly on review site Trustpilot, with 4.3 out of 5 stars from more than 288,000 reviews, giving it an \u201cExcellent\u201d rating (updated April 2026). <\/p><p>Most of the reviews focus on the Wise account, with customers stating that it\u2019s easy to use and cost-effective and \u201ccurrency exchange rates are very good\u201d. However, some reviewers said they\u2019d had difficulty opening an account and making transfers.<\/p>                                    \n<style>\n.tablefade { height: 850px; width: 100%; overflow-x: auto; overflow-y: scroll; }\n.tablefade .luna-table { position: relative; border-left: none !important; }\n.tablefade th:first-child, .tablefade td:first-child { position: sticky; left: 0; background: #ffffff; border-left: 1px solid #d4d3ce; z-index: 2; }\n.tablefade .luna-table td { vertical-align: middle; }\n.tablefade tbody tr:hover td { background-color: #f5f4ef !important; }\n.tablefadeafter { background: linear-gradient(to bottom, rgba(255, 255, 255, 0) 0%, rgba(255, 255, 255, 1) 100%); width: 100%; height: 10rem; margin-top: -10rem; margin-bottom: 4rem; position: relative; pointer-events: none; }\n.tablefade img { min-width: 96px; min-height: 53px; }\n\n.tablefade-filtered { max-height: 500px; width: 100%; overflow-x: auto; overflow-y: auto; }\n.tablefade-filtered .luna-table { position: relative; border-left: none !important; }\n.tablefade-filtered th:first-child, .tablefade-filtered td:first-child { position: sticky; left: 0; background: #ffffff; border-left: 1px solid #d4d3ce; z-index: 2; }\n.tablefade-filtered .luna-table td { vertical-align: middle; }\n.tablefade-filtered tbody tr:hover td { background-color: #f5f4ef !important; }\n.tablefadeafter-filtered { background: linear-gradient(to bottom, rgba(255, 255, 255, 0) 0%, rgba(255, 255, 255, 1) 100%); width: 100%; height: 3rem; margin-top: -3rem; margin-bottom: 4rem; position: relative; pointer-events: none; z-index: 5; }\n\n.lightbox { display: none; position: fixed; z-index: 9999; left: 0; top: 0; width: 100%; height: 100%; background-color: rgba(0, 0, 0, 0.8); }\n.lightbox img { display: block; max-width: 90%; max-height: 90%; margin: auto; position: absolute; top: 50%; left: 50%; transform: translate(-50%, -50%); }\n<\/style>\n\n                    \n    \n\n<div id=\"lightbox\" class=\"lightbox\" onclick=\"closeLightbox()\">\n  <img decoding=\"async\" id=\"lightbox-img\" src=\"\" alt=\"Expanded Finder Badge\" loading=\"lazy\">\n<\/div>\n\n<script>\n  function openLightbox(event, imageUrl) {\n    event.preventDefault();\n    const lb = document.getElementById('lightbox');\n    const lbImg = document.getElementById('lightbox-img');\n    if(lb && lbImg) {\n        lbImg.src = imageUrl;\n        lb.style.display = \"block\";\n    }\n  }\n  function closeLightbox() {\n    const lb = document.getElementById('lightbox');\n    if(lb) lb.style.display = \"none\";\n  }\n<\/script><h3>Frequently asked questions<\/h3><ul class=\"luna-accordionGroup accordionGroup\">\n\t<li class=\"luna-accordion\" data-accordion=\"accordion\">\n    <div class=\"luna-accordion__summary\">\n        <h4 class=\"luna-accordion__heading\">\n            <button class=\"luna-accordion__action collapsed\" aria-expanded=\"false\" aria-controls=\"faq-builder-0000000000\" data-toggle=\"collapse\" data-target=\"#faq-builder-0000000000\">\n                <span class=\"luna-accordion__title\">How do I order a Wise card?<\/span>\n                <svg class=\"luna-icon\" aria-hidden=\"true\">\n                    <use xlink:href=\"#chevron-down\" data-accordion-icon=\"show\"><\/use>\n                    <use xlink:href=\"#chevron-up\" data-accordion-icon=\"hide\" class=\"is-hidden\"><\/use>\n                <\/svg>\n            <\/button>\n        <\/h4>\n    <\/div>\n    <div class=\"luna-accordion__details collapse\" aria-hidden=\"true\" id=\"faq-builder-0000000000\" data-accordion=\"details\">\n        <div class=\"accordionContent\">\n            <div>\n                <p>Once you\u2019ve signed up for a Wise account, click on the \u201ccard\u201d tab in the app and you\u2019ll see an option to order a card.
