I consider this to be pocket money for him and Wise, still it is one of the best services I ever have been using for several years.

If money is your hope for independence you will never have it. The only real security that a man will have in this world is a reserve of knowledge, experience, and ability!
My personal favorite thread posted in the Mentor Group. Group of investment companies to avoid licensing.
I don't think it's redundant at all. When a bank examines the details and banking history of a client, they examine data containing both good and bad points over the years. The bank then makes a decision about that individual. This is part of KYC and AML. However, the client also has a duty and even an obligation to do their own due diligence. This may involve public data such as market capitalization, profit, liquidity, history of CEO etc but also information gathered from other sources. Websites like this one serve as a very important source of such information. Since the fiasco that was the Great Financial Crisis, a client's KYB and AML checks are more important than ever. Simply do an internet search for 'bank's name' + court+ fine+ corruption+money laundering...etc and you see what I mean.
Elias, I agree with you. Wise provides a good service. My post was really to emphasise the irony and sarcasm in the hoops through which we have to jump in order to satisfy their 'checks' while the banks continue their own agenda of turning those checks on their head when it comes to their own shortcomings. 😎
I liked the "run from coworking offices and Starbucks" part the most 😀

You probably need a large poll covering 1000s of people to get an answer. I think that this forum is perhaps too small to draw any definite conclusions- apart from a few really bad ones. We've all had both good and bad experiences with the same EMIs. e.g. Revolut has been mostly good, but their software has really screwed up at times, asking me the same questions, I.D. that they already have etc. At one point I had a reminder to send my tax code., even though I had sent it years ago. I finally discovered that they had added Ireland to my 'tax residency'. I've never been to Ireland in my life!
But the EMI with the worst name? Definitely Yuh! 🙄
For people this thread is an option to get something off their chest. For EMIs it is a good indicator they are doing something wrong.
More information on EMIs the better, especially when it comes to obscure ones.
They emailed me asking about invoices for 2 payments I received, I provided info regarding those 2 transactions and asked if they needed anything else, they replied asking for an actual invoice, I provided that, they never got back to me...
1 week goes by, I receive an email saying my account will be closed because I haven't provided the info they requested. I tried contacting them again, they never replied.
Zen is crypto friendly. What kind of transactions did you make?

It is easy if you look at previous posts they were fined 3 times for illegal activity.

But when I tried to transfer my money to my own company because the bank is in Hong Kong they denied my transaction and closed my account they asked for bank statements etc... which I provided now waiting for them to give me back my money.
Ohh their Compliance & AML is s**t they are saying I'm a scammer and I had the account for 7 years (used it for small transactions up to 1000) a joke especially coming from them.
Currently opening a bank account is Singapore so I can stay away from jokers like wise.
what?! I only use Zen because I can withdraw fiat instantly from bybit... That's weird.
Accepted a P2P transaction. Maybe the other guy was high risk and they decided to take down two birds with one stone.
