Wise currency exchange is available through both the app and browser.
The app is convenient for use when traveling.
There are two ways to log in to the app
① Enter your e-mail address and password
② fingerprint authentication
You can log in with either of these.
Download the application below.
Wise Debit Card Issuance
- Two types of cards: real or digital type
- Approximately 2 weeks from card issuance procedure to arrival
- Currency exchange is possible even without a card.
You can transfer money into your Wise account or exchange money within Wise without a debit card, but you will need one when making card payments or ATM cash withdrawals abroad.
There are two types of Wise debit cards: real or digital.
The actual card can be issued for a fee of 9USD, and the digital type can be issued free of charge.
The advantage of the real card is that it has many supported stores and can be used for a wide range of purposes, including ATM withdrawals.
However, it takes about two weeks from the issuance of the card to its arrival, so advance procedures are required.
The advantage of the digital type is that it is issued on the smartphone, can be used immediately, and is not lost.
Card replacement is easy and can be done instantly if security is a concern.
Digital types can also be used for online shopping and in stores, but be aware that some stores do not support digital types.
If you have an overseas bank account, you can transfer funds from your Wise account to your overseas account.
In that case, Wise can be utilized without a debit card.

There are not many opportunities to exchange foreign currencies in daily life.
If you forget, I hope you will take another look at this procedure and exchange money quickly.
With Wise, you can use your time more efficiently because you don’t have to look for a currency exchange.
