ABOUT THE WISE TRAVEL CARD <\/strong><\/h3>\n

In this ever-changing world most banks no longer provide foreign cash services leaving the customer taking an overseas trip with little option but to use their credit card or purchasing cash at the airport. To be fair some banks do offer foreign currency cards that can be used to make purchases and withdraw cash from ATMs but in most cases that is all you can do with bank issued cards.<\/p>\n

Kiwi Travel Club members now have an alternative. The Wise Card.<\/strong> It is the one multi-currency card for all your travels. It is available as a physical card or as a digital card and does all the things that a bank issued card does but a whole lot more.<\/p>\n

Send and Receive Money in different currencies: (Including New Zealand and Australian dollars) <\/strong>With a Wise Card you can setup multiple foreign currency accounts which work much like the internet banking services offered by many banks with some added features:<\/p>\n

\n
• Send money worldwide: <\/strong>The person or business receiving money don\u2019t need a Wise Account<\/li>\n
• Receive money worldwide:\u00a0 <\/strong>Again the person or business sending money don\u2019t need a Wise Account<\/li>\n
• Request money <\/strong>from a growing number of countries \u2013 worldwide (Create a payment link to share with family, friends, clients, or businesses so they can send you money)<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n

  Spend in 175 countries:<\/strong> Use your Wise Card just like you would use any other card back home.

  ATM withdrawals: <\/strong>Get cash from more than 3 million ATMs worldwide (free from Wise fees, up to 350 NZD\/AUD per month). If your trip is cancelled or you have left over currency, spend it back home, with a small conversion fee.<\/p>\n
