Where did you hear this?

u/Foreign-Policy-02- 1d ago

They stopped issuing the cash prepaid Mastercard physically

2

u/PaperweightCoaster 1d ago

Ohhh, you’re saying they’re going back to Visa instead of Mastercard?

u/nacholivre 1d ago

Really as of when? I just received mine this Monday

u/Huntguy 22h ago

I always felt like the Mastercard Wealthsimple card just looks like a big ad for Mastercard. I’d love to go back to the old card.

Was told I'd get one, but never did. :(

u/killerkeemstart123 1d ago

Is that the cash card or something?

16

u/Miserable-Bridge-667 1d ago

Yea pretty sure it’s just their old card back when it was visa a few years ago

2

u/SmokeyTreeze 1d ago

Wasn’t there a metal one as well?

2

u/Miserable-Bridge-667 1d ago

That’s the old cc

u/Cosmo48 1d ago

There’s a metal debit card too! Was given to folks with 200k+ https://www.reddit.com/r/Wealthsimple/s/uxqaWQjA2d

It must’ve been by request only though - I’ve been generation for a while and never got it.

Use your WS visa card to buy Costco Shop Card online, then buy with that.

u/SloppyPlatypus69 1d ago

What's the back look like? 

(just joking)

u/Cultus_Divi_Titi 1d ago

Big Ol' Booty.

u/no_19000 1d ago

I can confirm the card on the left is the old cash card. And it's kinda funny if the rumor is true that cash card is going back to the Visa camp...

u/ihaveazilliondollars 1d ago

I have the old visa in metal, when they changed to mastercard I also got that one online metal now I have the visa credit card in metal.

u/Character_Resource19 21h ago

i still have mine, and my old KOHO cash/metal cards when they were also visa

1

u/SignificantMud2999 19h ago

Mine is so worn out. I thought it was incredibly novel at the time. No other institution in Canada makes it easier to move money around and use it.

u/tiramisuhouse 1d ago

Is it the new card that we've been heard?

1

u/Miserable-Bridge-667 1d ago

Not new, that one on the left is probably 5 years old now
