@Mark *******
The WISE credit card works, some ATMs work (it’s frustrating when 2 or 3 different ATMs in a row don’t work), and transferring money is always delayed.

The app states the money is transferred immediately, deducts it from your account but the transferee doesn’t get the money until 10 hours later or the next day.

So try to pay for a months rent to move in and all you get is receipt that the money was paid but the other party doesn’t have the money.

They don’t want a receipt they want the money.

In that respect I’m disappointed with WISE.

Right, remember WISE is not a bank so its not insured if it goes belly up. They say your money is safe but who knows until that statement is tested. The goal is to be my own bank.

From the comments I’ll keep my WISE account. Any other alternatives to WISE worth having as a secondary reserve of accessible money. I did not want to keep all my funds in one app in case they go bust.

Wow, not here she pulled out the plate package with registration and only asked for Passport, Visa and Drivers License. Maybe we did not get far enough along in the process for her to say, "Oh yeah we need RC too"?

How did you buy it. Online or in-person. What docs/information did they ask for.

For the motorbike license they took both the originals of the Residency Certificate (RC) and the Drivers Medial Certificate. You have to submit the originals.
