How to Spend Smartly with Your Wise Card: Digital vs Physical & Currency Conversion Explained

in #blog12 hours ago

If you're using a Wise card to make payments, it's important to know how it works depending on whether you're using the digital or physical version. To use your digital Wise card, you’ll need to connect it to a mobile wallet like Apple Pay or Google Pay. This step is required to enable contactless or online payments. However, if you have the physical Wise card, you can use it directly without linking it to a mobile wallet—just insert, swipe, or tap as you would with any other card.

When spending in a currency you don't hold in your Wise account, you can still complete the transaction seamlessly thanks to Wise’s Smart Conversion technology. For example, if you're purchasing something for 100 EUR and already have at least that amount in your EUR balance, the transaction will go through without any conversion fees. If you don’t have enough in that specific currency, Wise will automatically convert the necessary amount from your other available balances using the lowest conversion fee possible. This ensures your spending is both convenient and cost-effective.
