Really need to protect your Wise account!
90% of people don’t know this! After Wise opens a US account, you get a checking account with built-in ACH (US domestic clearing system) — this is extremely valuable!
Once you link it to Charles Schwab, moving money in and out feels as smooth as transferring between domestic bank cards — zero cost, no fees. It’s not a wire transfer (expensive, slow, with intermediary bank deductions), but ACH (fast, cheap, seamless).
As for how to protect your Wise account? I carefully dug through the terms again.
Pudding (@lengs4189): Everyone must protect their Wise account! Just now, to keep my German Vodafone eSIM number active, I transferred 0.02 EUR via Wise and it arrived instantly.
