Thank you!

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

Excellent

This app is awesome! Much better exchange rate than either credit card or taking out cash. And you don’t have to worry about making change for small purchases. We traveled all over Brazil and they accept it everywhere. The equivalent of PIXS which is what locals use.

Thank you so much, Rachel. This is exactly the kind of travel experience we hoped WanderWallet would unlock. Being able to pay with PIX for food, guides, and everyday purchases without bad exchange rates or cash hassles makes Brazil so much easier to enjoy.

Not available to people who reside in UK

Why don’t you make it clear that the app and your process for authentication makes this app unusable to people who reside in the UK? Either fix the issue or be upfront

SO EASY

Absolutely amazing app. Have had 0 trouble paying with pix in Brazil. LOVE that I can use cashapp to add money instead of my bank account. PHENOMENAL. So happy i found this.

Responsive, helpful

Impressively prompt response from customer service with useful information when I had a question about a payment. Pix transfers using QR codes work seamlessly in Brazil.

Gio from customer support says hi! Thanks for the review and such nice words. Glad we could help!

Indispensable travel app

On the money for design, ease of use, rapid account set up. I’m traveling in Brazil currently and have used this to pay for everything from bottles of water at a street stall to full hotel stays. Received many positive comments from Brazilians pleasantly surprised that I can use Pix. Nearly everyone prefers this as a mode of exchange, and my cards and their chips are safely out of reach from scammers. Highly recommended.

Hi! Thanks for flagging this, and sorry for the trouble. We’re not aware of any general outage affecting bank linking right now, so this may be account-specific. Please contact our support team from the app or at support@wanderwallet.io and we’ll be happy to look into it.

Waste of time

After wasting a lot of time trying to set up it turns out not to work for people from my country… why not make that clear at the start…

Really good for Bolivia

I was using this app during my travels in Bolivia and literally every purchase I made was 20% cheaper. Saved a lot of money.
The deposit options are kinda limited, but still - super worth it

Thank you for the review! Bolivia is amazing and we're glad WanderWallet was helpful during your trip. And thank you for the feedback about the deposit options. We take it seriously and are actively working to improve the experience for our American users.

Unable to use

Never made it through the verification step. Their ID checking AI doesn’t work

Hi there. Sorry you had trouble with verification. We do allow multiple retries and we also manually review some cases when needed, so this definitely shouldn't feel like a dead end. Please contact us at support@wanderwallet.io from the email linked to your account and we'll take another look for you.

Great App

I used this in Brazil - it’s brilliant since there are so many little apps or services that only take Pix, and as a foreigner it’s so frustrating. But this app works great. I had one issue paying a business quite a large sum (brl$500), but the balance was returned to me quite quickly.

Very happy everything works for you now! Enjoy Brazil.

Great Wallet for Argentina Use

This is a great app with a lot of options to fund the account. Two things i wish we could do: 1. send zelles straight to the account. 2. be able to send to aliases from mercado pago.

Other than that, it works as intended.

Edit: Replying to your reply, if you add the ability to send to aliases, you’ll be the only
app currently that can do that and would totally capture more market share.

Hi! Thanks for the review. We’re working on enabling transfers to aliases, and hopefully we can launch that soon. We’re also always exploring additional funding options to make topping up even better. Edit: Hi again! Just adding here that we already have alias transfers live, so you're still in Argentina, let us know how it's working for you!

Best payment app

I’ve used the app in both Brazil and Bolivia and it’s worked great in both places. It’s still worth having cash as some vendors or situations require it, but this app reduces how much you need to take out and helps you pay using the local QR payment systems which save you money on fees. I topped up using USDC (crypto) which then gave me a balance in three local currencies ready to spend. There are ways to top up using Revolut and Bank transfer if you don’t have crypto as well. This has saved me a couple of times when my card didn’t work too, QR payments seem to be more reliable in Brazil and Bolivia.

Hi Rex, sorry to hear this. We’re not seeing a broader issue on our side. Please reach out via the in-app support or at support@wanderwallet.io and we’ll investigate immediately. We’re happy to help get this resolved.

Awesome app for US->Brazil Visitors

I'm generally skeptical of apps connecting to your checking account, but reading the reviews and seeing the founders comment gave me some confidence. It has paid off big-time -- zero declines with PIX when paying for everything from coconuts on the beach to food to drugstore purchases...much better than winging it with your credit or debit card, where I sometimes had to cycle thru multiple attempts / cards.

Feedback: The $0.20 per transaction fee could be more transparent when you sign up (maybe I just missed it). It's totally reasonable though.

Hi! We really appreciate the review, glad PIX worked smoothly for you. The $0.20 fixed fee is listed on our website and always shown before you complete a payment, together with the FX rate and total amount. However, transparency around fees and FX is one of our main priorities, so we truly appreciate the feedback and will look at how we can make it even clearer. Thanks again for trusting us.
