My husband has a Wise card and wanted to get me one on his account. He got a virtual card for me you could use online but hasn’t been able to get a real one for me. Should we open another Wise account in my name. Maybe it is easier on Revolut.

Thanks

Yes open another account in your own name. Wise don't do joint accounts yet.

Why not just share the card, that's what we do.

Can't conceive of any circumstances where one of us having possession of the card could possibly be of any disadvantage to the other.

Yes but with different login details of course.

If your phone has fingerprint recognition you can register both your fingerprints on it and then either can login to the app with theirs.

Even if Revolut do joint accounts to solve what is really a non problem would seem a retrograde move.

Check the T&Cs of card issue.  If the bank discover you’ve shared a PIN they may decline to pay out in the event of a scam or fraud - may be an unlikely scenario, but best be prep
