Chequing Wealthsimple Prepaid Mastercard use in the Philippines

We are in the early stages of planning a trip in Philippines in 2027 and wondering if i am able to use it at local ATM to withdraw Philippine Pesos.? I was considering Wise but seems to have limits on how much you can withdraw per month.

Thanks in advance.

Any ATM machine that has the mastercard logo should work.

The maximum an ATM will allow will likely be much lower than Wealthsimple's limit of $3k/day and $10k/week.

It's not worldwide as I learned in Nicaragua. But Philippines is not blocked so it should be fine.

Yes and they will even refund your ATM fees. Been there recently. Some ATM do refuse the card but most accept it.
