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.

Had your legal name changed as of the day you asked Wise for a new card?
Yes.
I went to the city office to complete the name change process, reissued my ID card, and uploaded my new ID card to Wise, but was told there was a fee.

Pretty cool podcast for Wise as a business:
Spotify link: Wise: Moving Money Around the World - [Business Breakdowns, EP. 99] - Business Breakdowns | Podcast on Spotify
As most of you probably know Wise is powering Monzo’s international transfers.

Just finished listening to the podcast. I’ve definitely got more of an insight to the brand, also strengthening my loyalty to them.

Bit of an advert but last year I wrote a blog post on wise as a potential investment, I think it’s one of my fave blog posts I’ve written and shows some parts of Wise others may not know

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’ve never seen offers in Wise - where are they hidden?

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.
