Card – means your Wise Card (including any replacement card as applicable) with the features set out in section 4.2.

4.1 Who is the issuer of your Card. Your Card is issued by Wise Australia Pty Ltd ACN 616 463 855, an Australian registered company.

4.2 A summary of the key product features and information about your Card is set out here. The Card is for use in conjunction with a Wise Account, please refer to the Customer Agreement and the Product Disclosure Statement. If your Wise Account is a business account, you may only use your Card for business purposes and not personal purposes. Certain transactions for getting cash or cash equivalents (such as ATM withdrawals, getting cash from a merchant or bank, money orders, travellers cheques, foreign exchange or bureau de change), and account funding transactions where the Card is used to fund e-wallets and accounts or items which may be convertible to cash (such as casino chips, cryptocurrencies and lottery tickets), may incur additional fees, refer to Pricing page for details.

4.3 When you change your profile address to a new country, your existing Cards will continue working in the same manner and will be subject to the same fee structure based on the latest Wise entity serving you, until you order a new Card. When you change your profile address to a new country and order a new Card, all the new and existing Cards associated with your profile will be subject to the fee structure for transactions for getting cash or cash equivalents of the newest Wise entity serving you.

5.1 How to access the Card. Your Card is linked to and supported by your Wise Account. You can access money by adding money to your Wise Account. For further information on how to do this, please refer to the Customer Agreement.

5.2 Verification and authorisation Only customers we have verified will be able to use the Card and anonymous users are not permitted. You agree that we may verify and authorise your information and transactions at account opening and on an ongoing basis to meet relevant regulatory requirements. Wise is required to comply with the Anti-Money Laundering and Counter-Terrorism Financing Act 2006.

6.1 About your Card. The Card is a non-cash payment facility which can be used to pay for goods and services online, over the phone or in person. The Card can be used to withdraw money from ATMs locally and internationally which accept Mastercard or Visa. The Card is not a guarantee card, charge card or credit card.

6.2 How to activate your Card. When you receive your Card, please sign the back of it as soon as you receive it and keep it safe. You must activate your Card before use, by following the instructions in the App or on our Website. The Card PIN is a 4-digit code that you will be asked to enter when making a payment using the Card.

6.3 Paying in different currencies. The Wise Account associated with your Card may be used by you to hold balances in different currencies that we support for use with the Card (see FAQ). If you are making a payment or withdrawing funds in a currency you hold, the payment will be made from that balance. If you are making a payment or withdrawal in a currency you do not hold in your Wise Account, we will convert the amount applying the Wise rate and fee to a balance that you hold - please see our Pricing Page for further information on our rate and fees, including the latest applicable percentage mark-up over the ECB rate. If you are making a payment or withdrawal in a currency we do not support, we will convert the amount at the current Mastercard or Visa rate.

6.4 Refunds in different currencies. If you receive a refund on a card payment in a supported currency, we will credit your Wise Account in that currency. If you receive a refund in a currency we do not support (see FAQ), we will first convert the amount at the current Mastercard or Visa rate to a supported currency and then credit your Wise Account. We may need to activate a currency in your Wise Account in order to credit you the refund.

6.5 No negative balance in your Wise Account. You must not make purchases that exceed the amount of electronic money available in your Wise Account. If any purchase takes you over your available funds or the card limits in force from time to time the transaction will be declined.

6.6 Your use of the Card is subject to limits. We may, at our reasonable discretion, decline the use of your Card for situations including, but not limited to:

1. pre-authorised regular payments;
2. transactions at self-service petrol pumps;
3. transactions for cash (other than ATM withdrawal) including for example cash back, cash from a bank, money orders, traveller’s cheques, foreign exchange, or bureau de change, or any illegal purposes;
4. where it is not possible for the supplier of the good or service to obtain online authorisation that you have sufficient Balance for the transaction. For example: transactions on trains, ships, and some in-flight purchases.

6.7 We are not liable for certain losses. We are not responsible for the quality, safety, legality, or any other aspect of any goods or services purchased with the Card. We are not liable for any loss arising from any merchant refusing to accept your Card, or any ATM failing to dispense cash. You are responsible for losses arising from gross negligence, or failing to conduct adequate due diligence on the merchants you transact with.

6.8 Account Suspended or Account Cancelled. We can close or suspend your Wise Account at any time (see ​Customer Agreement​) and we can suspend or cancel your Card, including if the activity on your Card appears suspicious, fraudulent or we believe it to be associated with criminal activity or activity which is inconsistent with this Agreement. Unusual or multiple purchases may prompt a merchant inquiry or Card suspension that is necessary to allow us to investigate such activity. We reserve the right, in our sole discretion, to limit your use of the Card. We may refuse to issue or replace a Card or may revoke Card privileges, other than as required by applicable law. You agree not to use or allow others to use an expired, revoked, cancelled, suspended or otherwise invalid Card. We will not incur liability to you because of the unavailability of the funds that may be associated with your Card or Borderless Account.

6.9 Unjust enrichment. In case you notice a refund has been received twice for the same transaction, from Wise and the merchant, you are required immediately to let us know, and we always reserve the right to debit back a previously issued refund when a refund for the same transaction has been provided by the merchant as well, without prior notice.

6.10 In case of disputed card transactions, we may, subject to any restrictions under applicable law, decide not to proceed with chargebacks at our sole discretion. Reasons for this might include: not receiving sufficient information to determine that an error occurred; not receiving a notification about the payment error in a timely manner; disputes being caused by the risky nature of transactions undertaken with the business debit card.

7.1 You authorise every Transaction. You agree that any use of your Card or card number and PIN constitutes your authorisation and consent to a transaction, including for the avoidance of doubt, any contactless or card-not-present (e.g. any online purchases) transactions which may not require a PIN.

7.2 Your Card is for your sole personal use. You undertake not to authorise others to use your identity or user status, and you may not assign or otherwise transfer your Card to any other person or entity.

7.3 Where there are multiple cardholders within the same business account, any transaction authorized by any one of the cardholders is deemed to be effectively authorized by the Business.

8.1 Your Card has an expiry date. You can only use your card up until the expiry date which will be shown on the front of your card and/or in the App.

8.2 We’ll aim to provide you with new card details to use 2 months before your current card will expire. You’ll need to confirm the address to which you’d like the card to be sent to. A replacement card fee may apply (see here).

8.3 If you do not want your Card to be renewed, you can simply let it expire without ordering a replacement. Your Card will be deactivated and you will not be able to use it after its expiry. Any outstanding balance in your Wise Account will remain usable by you in accordance with the terms of the Customer Agreement.

9.1 Keep your Card safe. Never let another party use your Card, and keep it safe. Memorise your PIN and never disclose this and other security information to anyone. Sharing these details can lead to unauthorized access to your account and you will be solely responsible for transaction(s) made in this situation. Wise will not be liable for any loss arising due to any such unauthorized transaction(s).

9.2 Keep your Wise Account safe. You should also observe the security measures as set out in section 7.2 of the Customer Agreement with regard to your Wise Account.

9.3 Check your transaction history regularly. We rely on you to regularly check on your Wise Account history and contact us in the case of unauthorised, incorrect, or misdirected transactions.

9.4 Report any suspicious incidents. If your Card is lost or stolen, if you suspect that someone else knows your PIN, or if you think your Card, card number or PIN may be misused, you agree that you must stop using the Card and contact Customer Support immediately. If you find the Card after you have reported it lost, stolen or misused, you must cut it up and tell us as soon as possible.

9.5 Replacement of card. If your Card, or any replacement card, is lost or stolen, you can request a replacement. We will charge a fee for the replacement Card. The details for the relevant replacement can be found here.
