What are my spending limits?

Your Wise card comes with default and maximum limits. You can always choose either one in your Wise app or desktop version, or turn off a specific type of payment completely. 

There are different limits for cardholders in different countries, so keep in mind where you ordered your card.

Contactless: common in Europe, UK, Australia, New Zealand, Japan, Singapore or Canada. You might have to enter your PIN the first time.

ATM withdrawal: ATMs could have their own limits and might charge an additional fee. Learn more about ATM fees. 

Daily limit: refreshes every day at midnight. Check the exact time in the app.

Monthly limit: refreshes on the first day of each month.

Limits for UK/EU cardholders

Limits are in GBP for UK and EUR for EU cardholders.
