Wise has rolled out its multi-currency account and card in Thailand for local travellers, expatriates and digital nomads.
Customers can hold and convert more than 40 currencies, set exchange rate alerts and spend locally or overseas using a physical or digital Wise Card.
The card can also be added to Google Pay for contactless payments, while the Wise app supports QR payments through Thailand’s PromptPay network.
Customers travelling in the region can also use supported QR payment systems including DuitNow in Malaysia, QRPh in the Philippines and PayNow in Singapore.
Other features include bill splitting, destination spending guides and ATM search tools. Customers can see the mid-market exchange rate and applicable conversion fees before exchanging currencies.
The rollout follows the launch of Wise’s international money transfer service in Thailand in mid-April 2026.
The Australian dollar, euro and Singapore dollar have been the three largest destination currencies by transfer volume among early users, according to Wise.
The company secured the licences required for its Thailand operations earlier this year, with regulatory approvals from the Bank of Thailand and Ministry of Commerce.
“Thai travellers are incredibly savvy, but managing money abroad can still mean juggling cash, cards, exchange rates and different ways to pay.
At the same time, we’re seeing more and more expats and digital nomads choose Thailand as their base, often managing money across several currencies at once.”
Customers with a Wise Card linked to an account registered to a Thai address cannot withdraw cash from ATMs in Thailand, although overseas ATM withdrawals remain available.
