Hi, I noticed that my Wise (multi currency card) is issued in Canada as a VISA card.
I think Japan recently had got a new security network system so a lot of foreign cards don’t work for online purchases/topping up transit cards.
Was wondering if anyone had trouble using wise for atm withdrawals or in person purchases in Japan (with a wise card issued in a country other than Japan)

I’ve used it for purchases, no problem. I haven’t tried at ATMs though.
I used mine last month all the time and had zero problem. I could even pay contactless. Worked in a convivience store ATM too.
