Loading video player...

“What’s the best way to pay in Bali?” 💸 We get this question all the time, and I totally get why—it’s one of those little details that can feel really overwhelming when you're preparing for an overseas trip. The short answer? 👉 We use our Wise card for almost everything. And it’s been absolutely brilliant—not just in Bali, but in multiple countries we’ve travelled to. The long answer? Here’s how we do it: 🟢 We keep a little bit of cash on hand for those smaller places—think warungs, market stalls, or parking attendants—but honestly, the majority of the time you’ll find us tapping our Wise card. We love it for a few reasons: ✅ Great conversion rates ✅ Low fees ✅ Easy to manage in the app ✅ You can load multiple currencies ✅ And it works almost everywhere! Whether it’s groceries in Sanur, a surfboard hire in Canggu, or booking an activity up in Ubud, Wise has made our lives SO much easier. You can load it up in your home currency, convert when the rates look good, and then just tap away like you’re at home. No dodgy money changers, no “how much is that in AUD?” brain strain. Bali Family Finds fam—you can actually access the Wise currency converter right inside the BFF app 🧠💡 Super handy for those on-the-go conversions when you’re out shopping or budgeting your next meal out. We’ve been using Wise since before we moved to Bali and it’s honestly one of the tools that has made long-term travel and digital nomad life feel much more seamless. So, if you’re heading to Bali soon, grab yourself a Wise card and get it set up before you leave—it’ll take the stress out of spending 💳🌴 And as always, if you have any questions, we’re just a DM away. #WiseCard #TravelTips #BaliTravelHack #ChadAndMiaOfficial #BaliFamilyFinds #PaySmartInBali #WiseConverter #TravelWithEase #BaliTips #FamilyTravelBali #DigitalNomadLife
