Shop online safely with the Wise virtual card

If you haven’t heard of Wise before, it’s a payment institution that also offers the Wise Account. With a Wise Account you can send, receive, hold and spend money in multiple currencies, including EUR, GBP and USD.

By opening your account, you can order a physical Wise card and have access to the Wise virtual card too.

There are many reasons why a Wise virtual card is great for online shopping:

You can create and have 3 virtual cards at any one time for free

Spend in 150 countries

Your physical card details are safe because each virtual card generated has different numbers

Freeze and delete cards online through the Wise app or website

Add the virtual card to subscriptions and mobile wallets such as Apple Pay and Google Pay, rather than your physical card.

For Skims, you can change the region to Ireland which also changes the currency to EUR, but not all online retailers do this. What if you want to buy something from a store in the UK or US that only changes in local currency?

Well, with the Wise, it’s not a big deal if the currency isn’t in Euros. You can use the Wise virtual card to pay for international purchases in 40+ currencies.

If you don’t have the right currency in your account it’s no problem, Wise uses smart technology to automatically convert another currency balance using the mid-market rate (the one you normally see on Google) to complete the transaction.
