How long does it take to get setup on Wise?
Answer summary
Setting up an account on Wise is typically quick, taking about one day according to users. However, the initial money transfer can take longer due to security checks, often varying from 10 minutes to several days based on account verification. Users should also be cautious as there have recently been issues with card cancellations in certain regions, including the Philippines, which can affect transfers.

Make sure it works in Thailand. I just found out, that they cancelled all the cards in the Philippines.

Scott Ramsland Yes, very limited. The limit is now 0, because all cards are cancelled.

Transfer yes, but he didn't do it with a card registered in a Filipinos name. The cards were canceled the 20th of September.

Creating the account isn't an issue. But your first transfer is going to be slow as they are doing the authorizations and protecting themselves to make sure everything is legit and not a scam on your end.
