I have filed a petition with the court to change my legal name. Accordingly, I have offered to reissue my Wise debit card. I was then told that there would be a fee to reissue the card and that if I did not pay the fee I would have to continue using the card under my old name. This is a bit of an unfriendly service, even though Revolut reissued the card for free. ---

Pretty cool podcast for Wise as a business: [![](https://global.discourse-cdn.com/monzo/original/3X/f/f/ff629dfa37fcc1ebd620015e1b7e59fbaaa2783b.jpeg "Wise: Moving Money Around the World - [Business Breakdowns, EP. 99]") ](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=xo_I0fWjZeQ) Spotify link: [Wise: Moving Money Around the World - [Business Breakdowns, EP. 99] - Business Breakdowns | Podcast on Spotify](https://open.spotify.com/episode/68xyg8ePo7jo0PeieG6x9V) As most of you probably know Wise is powering Monzo’s international transfers. ---

The Assets option now lets you hold essentially money market deposits. Both these and the Shares option are covered by FSCS compensation I believe (not bank style version, investment style version). Only GBP, EUR and USD deposits so far, but all paying rather good rates. ---

Yes. You can convert any debit card attached account (or savings pot) to the money market (or shares version). So right now I’m getting 4.12% on the GBP account and can spend that directly with the debit card. ---

Also, you can do DDs, standing orders and bill payments from it. Basically a Kroo equivalent that works properly. And, you can similarly spend directly from EUR and USD interest bearing accounts. ---

I have the same problem. Our postbox has been filling up with cards, pins, etc due to a bit of a flurry of CASS account openings for the latest crop of £200s. Have a look for a freebie offer on the Wise card if you’re going for it. First card is normally £5 (renewals are free). Almost forgot … they issue you with a Visa Infinite card which has some offers, notably for Hertz/Avis you get President status which in turn gives you a free second driver, lots more included mileage, cheaper one way drop off and I think a few more things. Saving me getting for £1000 on my upcoming holiday. ---

They seem to run free card offers fairly often i.e. if you can’t find one right now, wait a week or two and look again. ---

I can’t find any at the moment. I got a free Eco card off them a few months ago but I know that some people on this forum were paying £9 or so for the same card at almost exactly the same time.
