Listen up, fellow VAs and freelancers! Great news! The Wise Card is now available in the Philippines. Yes, finally! I've been waiting for this since I chose Wise as my new payment method, and we can finally have the physical card. With this card, you can store multiple currencies and use it almost anywhere in the world without any hidden fees. You can use it whether you're shopping online, traveling, or living abroad.
You can hold up to 40+ currencies all at once and convert them at the mid-market rate using the free Wise app. Plus, you don’t need to convert the money beforehand. Just use the card in stores, coffee shops, online, or at ATMs, and we'll handle the conversion automatically for you, with a low fee.
Here are some of the benefits of the Wise Card:
✅Send and spend money in more than 40+ different currencies
✅No need to exchange and carry cash
✅Virtual card feature
✅Accepted online, in shops and restaurants all over the world
✅Use with Apple Pay and Google Pay
✅The Wise app lets you top-up, check your balance and transactions, and convert in real time
✅Instant transaction notifications on your phone

✅Freeze your card if it’s lost or stolen

***Please note:
For some reason, I'm getting a flagged note using my Visa and Mastercard credit card, saying if I use those, it will be charged as "cash advance fee", see photo below. I don't really understand that, so I opt to use my digital bank Maya card instead, and it works perfectly fine.
