Its my first day in tokyo. Quite nervous to use the wise card. Tried the scan method and didnt work. So insert the old way and it works. No pin required at family mart japan
I used my Wise card and had no issues at all. I only used the tap method in Japan. Never needed to swipe. Although I mainly used 7/11. Family Mart, Lawsons and 7/11 are all basically the same type of store.
@@everythingjapanchannel Just a guess but Japan's most common contactless payment for Visa card are QuickPay and iD pay. Not sure if Wise Visa has either of that logo. If not, it probably has Visa Touch which isn't as common and the attendant in Japan might literally have no clue how to switch to it.
Hi would like to ask a couple question. 1. when you convert myr to yen you pay a small fee already. Is there another fee for each tapping on your card in japan? 2. When tapping in japan, will it automatically deduct from ur yen balance or do u preselect the yen currency in the app while in japan?
Hi 1. After converting to yen, there is no more fee. Each tap will just minus the exact amount of yen you used. Everytime you spend the wise app will be updated and notify you on the amount spent 2. Yes it will auto deduct your yen balance. Based on my understanding should your yen become insufficient, if you have any credit in other currencies, they will use that and convert for you automatically. Hope this helps.
Hey mate, I've ordered myself a Wise card too. I'm wondering if it would be better to put yen credit on there, or if i should stick with euro balance. Any tips?
In my case i had already prepared wise account 2 months prior and the yen was at its low so i converted my myr currency to yen during those period. I'm not sure how the euro/yen stability but for my case i got a really good deal converting early. So in Japan when i spent it just automatically minus the yen without any further conversion, you could say that i got like a fixed rate. If you think that your currency is strong enough to hold againts the yen during your trip then you can also remain the balance in euro. As for me, the myr againts the yen can fluctuate easily like it did during the trip so by converting early at the cheaper rate i got some advantages. Hope this helps.
@@everythingjapanchannel fair enough, for me, the yen is at its lowest yet and the euro is pretty stable, but its still dropping. Might be worth putting some euros on there. Thanks for your quick and informational response!
If i'm not mistaken there are charges when withdrawing cash from atm machines in japan hence what i see others do is withdraw the max amount instead of multipe times. In my case i topup my wise to buy small stuff like food,drinks at convenience stores by swiping the card. The rest i still bring cash that i have converted to yen in Malaysia.There are still places that accepts cash only. I also bring along credit card for emergency cases. Answering your question, i will not withdraw cash and spend directly using the card. Withdrawal is my last option if i run out of cash/or my credit card dont' work, as for cash money i will just convert the rm to yen before flying to japan.
The problem probably comes from the EDC. Either hasn't been updated for a while or anything else. Because, for example, in Indonesia, there are several EDCs which are only accepting contactless payment from specific cards. Mostly credit cards. While the other will be declined with various message, such as "Declined", "Insert Card", "Pin Blocked", etc. However, when we try to use the declined cards using different EDC which is already use the latest software, it works without any problem.
Did you open a JPY account in Wise? For me when I click on JPY in the app it says "No account details available yet" and so I cannot open an account. I'm confused. All the other currencies accounts work for me, I only have this problem with JPY
I'm not sure about this. I just deposited some money in my local currency myr. Then i did a oonversion to Jpy and it works just fine. Its similar to other currencies i've tried like euro baht idr won.
no i never did after that. Just inserted the card each time i pay in japan. I did try the wave method again in my own country. Sometimes it is successful sometimes it isnt. So probably my card is the issue.
@@everythingjapanchannel No prob, every time I go back home during the summer theres more and more places you can tap so next time you're back it will definitely be the norm!
no i didnt attempted to withdraw any cash from japan atm because i also brought certain amount of cash for places that require it.However my friend already tried and said its possible. He said preferablly withdraw at the 7eleven atm and make sure to choose checking acc instead of saving at the machine. Hope this information helps.
Hm the fee to convert hi I have i questions I have wise card and wisee acc and I'm here in Philippines but I have a. Usd dollar in my account wise and I activate my credit card then I want to go to new York for visit cousin it is able to ATM withdrawals and pay dinner and pay using rent or any where using my credit card wise I activate in the Philippines but my acc was dollar please
its the type of account. Savings and checking acc/current acc. Saving is like normal acc when people open up at a bank to save money. Checking/current is the one where you use cheques. Its also usually use for business purpose. I've only tried withdrawing at my local bank in malaysia and i choose savings at it works. The checking/current is refering to a friend of mine who had tried to withdraw in atm japan and he told to pick checking/current at the atm machine. Thats all i know@@myloveforever1962
So, if i had ths card like you. It's anyting to concern about it or not. cause I have been plan to Japan next year. Any trip from your about abroad 14 days ?
For me personally i only encounter the problem of using the wave method. As far as inserting the card into the machine i never have any problems using it. Tried it at multiple convenient stores. Everything was smooth.
I used the tap method every time in Japan and had zero issues. Not sure why it didn’t work for this user. Can’t remember whether I used Family Mart. Unless it was just that store. I mainly used 7/11 as it’s exactly the same type of mart as Lawsons and family mart. Japanese 7/11s are amazing.
I bought the JR tickets with a virtual digital wise card but if I go to ticket machine how will they know its the same wise card if I use my physical green one as they have different numbers.
Sorry for late reply. I'm not really sure about this. Maybe you can show them your wise account using the app. I'm sure there's a history payment inside there as proof to show the purchase
Bang, nk ty. Sy confused skit pasal wise ni. Sy nk g jepun 1October ni. Pastu kan bla kta nk tambah duit dlm kad kta pilih yen berapa yg nak pastu bawah tu akan appear bapa total duit malaysia kan. Lps tu bla kta dah beli yen. Mksdnya nnti duit dlm kad wise kta tu akan ada dlm yen ke? Pastu klu nak bayar apa2 nnti trus dia deduct dlm yen ke atau akan ada convertion apa2 dri malaysia ke yen? Sorry noob skit
Basically kita deposit thru fpx tu nanti dalam wise akan jadi myr dulu. Lepas tu baru kita convert kan ke yen currency dalam apps wise so that duit kita semua dlm yen , pada currency myr pula dalam wise kita akan paparkan 0. Sampai di jepun nanti bila kita bayar semua tolak dari yen tersebut. Itu purpose wise sebenarnya basically kita nak lock satu kali convert supaya sampai dekat jepun xde conversion2 dah. Contohnya masa saya pergi hari tu ada 50k yen dalam wise saya. Bila saya beli first time contoh 1000 yen, nanti dekat wise akan dapat notification saya belanja 1000 yen dan paparkan balance 49000 tepat.
saya xtest pakai smpi zero.Secara theory patut boleh sebab dia xperlu any min deposit setau saya. Mcm debit kita pakai jumlah kita ada. Balance lebihan lepas trip japan tu saya witdhraw kat atm maybank masa tu saja nak test amik cash.

Japan got credit card machines that speak to you 😭😭
Only in Japan they said 😅🎉

Wise don't have tap to pay method
You have to enable the contact less payment method in the app for it to work
i have already enable it before flying but was still unable to use it though while in japan.

thanks for the info@@emikami1
I guess Japan is trying to change from money based country to using both not many places accepts credit card or even WISE card
It works at family mart here in kl too 👍
Cool 👍
no issue with Wise in apple pay, contactless payments were success in Farmily Mart, Lowson and 7-11

@@puckvl_5782 you are most welcome
Do you think it’s more cost efficient to convert MYR to YEN in wise and then withdraw cash in Japan, or directly exhange YEN in Malaysia?
If i'm not mistaken there are charges when withdrawing cash from atm machines in japan hence what i see others do is withdraw the max amount instead of multipe times.

hi, have you tried to use the apple wallet method instead?
no i haven't. i use an android phone.
The problem probably comes from the EDC. Either hasn't been updated for a while or anything else.

no i never did after that. Just inserted the card each time i pay in japan. I did try the wave method again in my own country. Sometimes it is successful sometimes it isnt. So probably my card is the issue.
@@everythingjapanchannel No your card is probably fine its just tap to pay is a bit finicky sometimes. Thanks for the reply
i see. Thanks for the info, i will definitely try to use wave method when i visit japan again someday @@coshiro1
@@everythingjapanchannel No prob, every time I go back home during the summer theres more and more places you can tap so next time you're back it will definitely be the norm!
Does the Wise card work in the Subways of Japan 🇯🇵‽
i don't think so. You can purchase an IC card such as suica,icoca to use public transports in japan
Topup ke wisenya pake bank indo apa bank japan jg? klo japan pasti yucho ya?
topup ke wise pakai bank local negara masing2. saya guna maybank bayar melalui fpx.

No pin required☠️☠️
That's stupid.
It's VISA, not WISE xD
Wise is the bank and visa is the financial provider firm
