Great video! Do you know which bank terminals/services allow us, foreigners travelers with Wise cards recharged with Canadian dollars to withdraw with no taxes? Thank you!
Hi there wdianim! I think most ATM machines charge a fee in Canada to withdraw cash if the card you are using is not from that bank. However, you can use your wise card for tap and pay at pretty much any merchant, to pay for goods or services, after you have made one payment at a merchant with chip and pin first, to activate it. If you do need to withdraw cash, you could try an ATM at a "credit union" near you, which may give better rates than one of the big banks. Just try to avoid any of the small atm machines that you will see around town such as at gas stations or train stations, or in the back of convenience stores. It's better to use an ATM machine at a bank or credit union, they will likely have lower fees. Thanks and welcome to Canada!
Thanks valuable information!
Most welcome!
