How it works

young explorer card

1

Order a Young Explorer card

You'll just pay a one-off fee for the physical card.



You must be their parent or guardian, and a Wise customer. If you’re not yet, you can set up an account first.

2

Add money

They'll spend directly from money you set aside — you can add money from your Wise account or an external account.

Set spending limits

Choose how much they can spend and withdraw from ATMs, in a day and over a month.

Freedom to spend like you

Just like the Wise card, Young Explorer works in-store, online and at ATMs worldwide.

They can spend and withdraw in the same currencies, at the same rates as you, with age-appropriate merchant controls.

Top-ups in a tap

Top up their card wherever they are, in whatever supported currency they need. You can even schedule them a weekly or monthly allowance.

Shared app access

Give them limited access to your app through their own login. They’ll only see the money you share with them and their own transactions — they won’t see any other part of your account.

You’ll have full control over their spending limits and controls, and will see all of their spending through your view of the app.
