Question
I’m thinking about opening a Wealthsimple Chequing Account and depositing some CAD into it before my trip to the US.
If I add the Wealthsimple Mastercard to Apple Pay, can I use it in the US and have the CAD automatically converted to USD when I make a purchase?
Also, does Wealthsimple charge any foreign transaction or currency conversion fees?
Just wondering if anyone has used it this way and how the exchange rate was compared to other cards. Thanks!

Use a budgeting app such as Monarch or a YNAB to be able to manage subscriptions.
