Virtual Cards are active by default, meaning you can use them immediately after you create them.
Your physical Wise Card should arrive in the mail within a week of your account being opened. After you receive your card in the mail, follow these steps to activate it:
- Navigate to the Cards tab
- Select your physical Wise Card (the black card)
- Hit Activate Card
- Follow the instructions to supply the necessary card information
- It'll be active and ready for use immediately
Note that you can freeze your card if you ever need to, and can modify your label and controls at any time.
