You are welcome.
Well, in such a case you can also try e.g. 3smoney.
And – but perhaps as the last resort, as you would suffer from FX – you can always try Verifo. Just beware that although they transact in all currencies that you are asking for (and some more), all the assets are stored in EUR, so 2xFX with any transaction in your case.
To be honest, it is nice to hear that︀ Wise is working well – sometimes 😉.
(I guess that my general attitude to Wise/Revolut︁ is quite known at this forum /if you wonder, look e.g. here If Wise is︂ going to close accounts and is not the best, how diversify the money? / ).︃

How can I feel safe with Interpolitan? They seem (or at least come across to me) as boutique. Which is fine. But how do I know my funds are safe? The Google reviews look a bit scary.
Well. From what I have researched some time ago, they are ~2 years old re-brand of The Currency Account which was founded 2011; but just re-brand, people are the same. It's an EMI where founder is still the CEO and this guy (Rishi Patel) apparently is not a scammer. I have heard no complaints about funds lost or so and 13 years on the market say something.
They are FCA︀ supervised and this regulator was known as quite tough; although the recent Silverbird case (︁Silverbird enters administration / liquidation) might show something different.
Frankly, I do not think that Google/Trustpilot/similar reviews︃ should be taken seriously. In general, their validity is close to zero (both positively and︄ negatively biased reviewers who in addition many times do not understand the matter, unclear background︅ of the situation, etc.)
In any case, performing your own due diligence is more than︆ recommendable 🙂
