I learned something new -- I thought Wise only gave you the spot rate upon withdrawal -- I never realized I could use it as a currency hedging strategy -- that's a really risky strategy they are using....
In order to withdraw the cash at convenience store ATMs, would I have to get the Wise debit card?
What other alternatives are there besides Wise for this purpose? Just convert my USD to JPY here in the states first?
