Tips Preventif — Hindari Frozen di Masa Depan

Tip 1: Aktifkan Push Notification

Tip 2: Disable VPN saat Pakai Wise

VPN dengan server luar negeri trigger fraud detection. Pakai VPN Indonesia server, atau disable saat Wise.

Tip 3: Update KYC Sekali per Tahun

Wise periodically re-verify. Update dokumen sebelum expired. Hindari pending review mendadak.

Tip 4: Top Up Sufficient Balance

Avoid repeated decline. Top up buffer $100-500 di USD balance.

Tip 5: Avoid Merchant High-Risk

Merchant crypto, gambling, offshore banking = high-risk flag. Kalau perlu, pakai card lain.

Tip 6: Aktifin 2FA di Wise Account

Settings → Security → 2-step login. Reduce fraud risk.

Tip 7: Monitor Transaction Weekly

Cek Wise app seminggu sekali. Detect unusual transaction cepat.

Tip 8: Pakai Virtual Card buat Subscription

Virtual card lebih aman. Kalau compromised, tinggal rotate number. Physical card aman.
