WanderWallet

I just started using WanderWallet and I have nothing but positive interactions with this App. It’s user friendly and it makes my travel outside the US much easier where I don’t have to carry lots of cash with me where PIX is available as a form of payment especially in Brazil. New feature is coming sometime this year. Wait for the great news.

Response from developer

Thank you so much! We built WanderWallet exactly for this: making travel easier in places where local payments like Pix are everywhere, without needing to carry so much cash around. Glad we could help.

Great idea, absolutely useless for NY citizens in practice

Sounded great as travelling to Brazil soon. Downloaded app, identify verification failed the first time around, after sending passport info it finally worked, however the only way to “top up” accounts is CashApp lighting (not permitted in NY State, so useless), adding a US bank account which failed to verify even though my credentials were accepted, and Bitcoin lightning or Polygon blockchain. So for US NY citizens the app is pointless. Back to BRL I go!

Response from developer

Thank you for the fair feedback, and I’m sorry this was frustrating. The core issue here is New York-specific: the deposit infrastructure available to us is restricted there in ways we cannot override directly. Cash App Lightning is not available in New York, and our bank deposit partner currently cannot support that route there either. We’re updating the app so this is shown clearly on the relevant deposit screens, and we’ll add another usable route for New York residents as soon as we can.

Wouldn’t approve me for no reason

I just tried signing up for Wanderwallet and went through all the checks of identity, etc. Without reason, the Noah secondary portion of the app approval refused to approve me to utilize bank transfer and asked for Coinbase or Bitcoin. No. Every other financial institution seems to think I’m trustworthy, so I’ll continue using those. Stupid.

Response from developer

Hi Eden, we’re sorry for the confusion here. This is not about WanderWallet deciding you are not trustworthy. Our banking partners currently do not provide bank deposit details to New York residents, and your account falls under that restriction. This is a recent change, and we should have communicated it more clearly in the app. We’re updating the flow and messaging so this is explained upfront instead of after you complete verification. We’re sorry for the poor experience.

NO UK

App is pointless. No UK support, the other person was right, I tried every method, the only one that was possible was crypto and Im not doing that. USELESS
