What's your use case for PayPal?
I find Revolut convenient for single use cards at vendors I don't fully trust to uphold security best practices.
Wise is great for receiving, converting and sending money in different currencies. When I was unemployed but had an American client willing to shell money at me if I could take USD payments via ACH, Wise saved my ass. The ACH system was ridiculously slow but once I held the dollars, they became euros instantly.
My use case is mainly to pay for things online fast.. Sometimes sending colleagues lunch money. I also use revolut, and wise for yen<>eur transfers.
I mean if you can get your colleagues on Revolut, that already pretty much takes care of everything. Most places allow paying by card, and some payment gateways already let you save your card so even if try to pay somewhere else but it uses the same payment gateway, you can reuse information fairly quickly.
Your browser can also keep payment card information - optionally (and I recommend this) in the OS keychain rather than in some plaintext file. But I do have to tell you here that since I don't use it, I haven't looked at any browser's implementation to check if it's secure for real or not.
