My debit cards are being rejected.
If you’re trying to top up your Wise account from Pakistan or the UAE and your debit cards are getting rejected, here are some steps and tips to help you: First, check that your Wise account is fully verified: your identity and address must be confirmed for the funding method to work. Wise supports bank transfers and cards to add money (you can go to “Add Money” in the app, pick the currency, choose your payment method, and follow prompts).
If your debit cards are rejected, it could be because the card issuer blocks international payments, the card currency or region isn’t accepted by Wise (Wise supports many currencies but each region has its own rules).
From Pakistan specifically, some users report that card top-ups may get blocked due to local bank rules or restrictions on international payments. One workaround is to use bank transfer if available, or use a foreign-issued card that allows international online payments.
Also check if your UAE-based card is allowed for funding Wise and whether your Wise account region matches your residence/currency setup. If none of these work, contact Wise support to ask why your funding method is rejected and whether your country- and card-type are supported for adding money. If you like, I can check for country-specific limitations for Pakistan and UAE and send you a list of verified payment methods that people there have successfully used.
