Ratings and reviews

not sure what is the issue but I can't load money in the app via wise card. before I reach SK I had already set up the account but once I landed there I needed to reset my password. after that, it was downhill from then onwards. I can't link to my card. throughout the rest of the trip I completely abandoned the app.

Great idea issuing bank cards to tourists using their international passport. The app is convenient, all transactions are visible in the notification shade. Thank you so much wow pass! Many countries should adopt this practice.

you are better off taking the bank charges from your bank the customer service team are unreliable (pretty sure its ai) unable to top up at all with my card via the app. keeps dealing even though I am providing authorisation for the payment to go through. it's ridiculous!! I'll definitely be using an alternative next time!! *add they think it's appropriate to request debit card details trying to break GDPR compliance and regulations via the livechat
