I've searched and searched on google for the answer but no luck.

London’s largest listed fintech today saw its biggest-ever single-day share drop after a surge in profits was eclipsed by an earnings forecast that fell short of analyst expectations. Money transfer business Wise, which yesterday had been worth £8.6 billion, today saw more than £1 billion of its market cap vanish after shares fell as much as 23% when markets opened. The stock has now fallen by nearly a third over the past two months. The tumbling stock comes despite a huge rise in profits over the past year as the firm was boosted by higher interest rates. https://ca.finance.yahoo.com/news/wise-shares-tumble-forecasts-disappoint-084851147.html

Good for you. In my case for the past 17 years.

No problem using your Thai debit card.
