The Wise Card: Who Can Order It and What It Costs

Who can order the Wise card?

Wise says the card is available for personal accounts of people living in:

• Australia
• Brazil
• Canada
• EEA + Switzerland + French overseas departments and regions
• Israel
• Japan
• Malaysia
• New Zealand
• Philippines
• Singapore
• Thailand (accounts registered on or after 21 January 2026)

Arab countries: none is on the list. If you live in a country that isn't eligible, you can only join the waitlist.

What counts is where you live, not your nationality. An Egyptian, Moroccan or Algerian living in France, Germany or the UK can order the card like any other resident there, once verified. If Wise asks for a right-to-reside document (because your passport is from another country), it may block ordering a card until that check is done. Verification guide

If you move to a country that isn't eligible: you can use your activated card until it expires, but you can't order a replacement.

Is the Wise card available in Saudi Arabia, Algeria or Egypt?

We don't recommend any way around this, such as using an address in a country you don't live in: Wise asks for proof of your right to live at your address, and says it may limit features or close the account if you can't provide it.
