### 4/5 — Review

*2026-04-28, version 7.0.1*

Procedure at a bit clunky, but very helpful Help Desk operator.
BTW; “expiry date”, not “expiration date”. 
(We use English English, not US English, in NZ)

### 4/5 — ONESMART

*2025-11-04, version 7.0.1*

An excellent, easy to use app which gives instant access to foreign currency

### 2/5 — Technical difficulties

*2025-08-29, version 7.0.1*

App and ability to load money onto the card constantly a problem. Works intermittently  which has been really inconvenient. When working it is a great facility for me but it is unreliable and frustrating.

### 3/5 — Okay app

*2025-08-10, version 7.0.1*

When it loads it does the job. The "when it loads" being the operative part of that statement.  however it is an okay app. Not as well polished as most finance apps.

### 3/5 — Watch out for loading over the limit of debit card

*2025-08-04, version 7.0.1*

It is important you check on the final screen for confirming payment you have not gone over the maximum allowable transfer set by your bank. If the cost of the transfer exceeds this there is a 24 hr stand down before you can try again

### 3/5 — POS- Not worth downloading!!

*2025-07-16, version 7.0.0*

What a joke- waste of time
Added my details- wouldn’t accept 
Writing overlaps the boxes
Sooo lame and amateur-

### 5/5 — Convenient travel money

*2025-07-04, version 7.0.0*

Handy access to funds abroad. Have used for a few years now.

### 4/5 — Easy money overseas

*2025-06-29, version 7.0.0*

Great to be able to move money quickly while overseas. Perhaps not the best rate of exchange but not too bad.

### 3/5 — Clunky

*2025-06-26, version 7.0.0*

The app is sometimes unreliable

### 4/5 — 4/5

*2025-06-26, version 7.0.0*

Great app, I use when I travel to the States. Dark mode would be great

### 2/5 — OneSmart

*2025-06-14, version 7.0.0*

Not a great app

### 5/5 — One Smart

*2025-05-22, version 7.0.0*

Best app ever!!! So easy , so convenient!!!

### 5/5 — Great travel card

*2025-05-17, version 7.0.0*

I’ve used this card for travelling for years and enjoy the simplicity of transferring money for use overseas.

### 5/5 — Easy slick

*2025-05-09, version 7.0.0*

Saves money by enabling cash withdrawals without paying an advance fee, but one problem is it takes two or more full days from bank transfer to the money in your account and wise has slightly better rates

### 4/5 — It’s not terrible

*2025-05-09, version 7.0.0*

Freezes on log in screen. Can be ultra slow to update payments to you have made ie incorrect balance and you can’t setup a bank transfer in the app which is super annoying. But other than that it works.

### 5/5 — Nearly there - not quite

*2025-05-07, version 7.0.0*

Would be 5 if I could use in apple wallet

## Most critical reviews (10 lowest-rated)

### 1/5 — Be Wise

*2026-01-13, version 7.0.1*

The App does not send you a notification when a transaction happens on your account so you have to log in and try and find the transactions. Also the exchange rates are poor.

### 1/5 — Poor service

*2025-07-30*

I had the worst experience ever with this card . For years and years no problem . Then all of a sudden I couldn’t load my card. It took 7-8 months to fix . I had to deal with Filipino accents that had no idea what was going on and promising to fix “ it’ll be sorted by next week sir” seven or so months later got fixed because it was cutting me off at $60k instead of $100 k 
I got $200 compensation but lost at least $40k spending  in airpoints .
Meanwhile these corporations arar making massive profits and sticking it to the customers 
🤬🤬🤬🤬

### 1/5 — Below average

*2025-06-03, version 7.0.0*

I had an issue and emailed and never heard back….still waiting 3 weeks later, loaded some funds & it’s day 5, still no show. Really unhappy, also lots of places don’t accept it in Japan.

### 1/5 — Really bad

*2025-05-17, version 7.0.0*

I’m stuck in Italy …. Your app has left me stranded . I am unable to top up despite having done it many times before… no response to my emails ??

### 1/5 — Not Helpful

*2025-04-16, version 7.0.0*

I cannot access the app. I have deleted it from my phone and loaded it back on again but I still cannot access it. Keeps telling me the credentials are incorrect. I can access through the website on my desktop and through the old app on my laptop. NOT HELPFUL AT ALL

### 1/5 — Awful

*2024-12-08, version 7.0.0*

I have tried to load money onto the card- two weeks ago from my bank a/c. Three phone calls later still no luck. The people at the call centre talk about referring the matter to the “back office” but I think they mean the “back orifice” for all the success I’ve had. 
Highly not recommended.

### 1/5 — Cant log in now

*2024-11-25, version 7.0.0*

Updated to new release and now wont log in. Thanks !

### 1/5 — One of worse card apps

*2024-11-21, version 7.0.0*

This has to be one of the most clunky bank card apps

### 1/5 — Worst worst worst worst

Don't using this card🤬 even one star is too much

### 1/5 — Very disappointed

*2024-10-09, version 6.0.0*

The app was very disappointing, had endless trouble with signing in, therefore was very frustrating when we were wanting to load with currency.
