Wise Card

The Wise card (formerly TransferWise) is a multi-currency prepaid Mastercard that lets you hold and spend 40+ currencies at the real mid-market exchange rate. There is no markup on currency conversion — only a small, transparent fee — which makes it a favourite among frequent international travellers.

Who It's For

Best for Canadians who travel often or spend across multiple currencies and want to avoid the inflated exchange rates and FX surcharges of traditional cards.

FAQ

Frequently Asked Questions
