It is what it is, I don't really like that they do that instead of just telling you to pack your s**t and get out, but I understand how these platforms work so it is not surprising. But Payoneer should be fine with Stripe, they'll hassle you if you get payments from private persons but companies...

Just got an email confirming I got the boot permanently. Now as for Payoneer, I had an account there opened same time as I did Wise. But of course Wise made using Payoneer redundant, so I didn't use it at all, save for a few times, and the times I did I invoiced clients individually, worked for...

Payoneer's hell if you were to invoice each client individually. They treat the client as a criminal, and then they'll harass you for a while until you just forget about their service. Didn't use it much and after 2-3 years of inactivity account got closed and I've reapplied. I've gotten a...

Never say never. https://seenews.com/news/montenegro-to-join-sepa-in-2025-report-1264335 Montenegro is apparently joining on the 1st.

I hear you, I'm just saying for such an amount a bank would never freeze your account cause it's such an insignificant amount. Well, they don't have the regulators breathing down their necks. Wise's a pretty good service, never had an issue before this, if I did it was usually to confirm my...

That they can is obvious. They are an EMI, they can freeze your account for any reason -- citing AML/KYC procedures. A bank can too, but banks tend to be more serious, and as ironic as it is they treat their clients properly.

I guess, but I wasn't hiding I'll tell you this much. The algorithm would have picked up on me a long time ago, but who can tell the secret ways of their algorithms, one day it all can change immediately. Now I have to find a different payment processor and it seems that'll have to be Payoneer...

Well I'm barely touching 10k a year. I am a small fish. I did once 6 years ago or so, send an email to Jeff Bezos's email when my Amazon account got flagged after a purchase with a gift card, interestingly enough it was unlocked the same day. Strange, but those emails are taken a bit more...

No, not a business account. Not that you need a business account to use Stripe. Maybe that's the reason. But consider that it's probably less than 10k annually, and some months I don't have payments coming in at all.

I mean I'm well aware of how these online institutions works. Their algorithms look for any irregularities and then ban you if your risk is too high, I know this because I've dealt with PayPal 6-7 years ago one too many times. Yes, probably it won't, but might as well try, had to give them the...

Seems pretty random to me though. This is something their algorithms would pick up on almost immediately and would not wait 3 years to ban you, and I've never had such thing happen to me. Doesn't seem like a big no to me cause from the getgo I've been receiving money from Stripe. I've just...

No, not a business account. I am a freelance web developer.

4 years of using TransferWise and now I have been blocked. Now, I didn't break any agreements, I do not have a "high risk" business, I have no chargebacks. Didn't do anything shady at all, didn't make transfers to random people, or receive transfers from random people. Used it for typical...

I've been using TransferWise, Payoneer for some time. Now, my only concern is, the taxman is going to come knocking for me using the Payoneer/Transferwise card. My question is, what do these slime bags actually store in these ATMs or POS payments? It's been almost over 2 years, and no taxman...

Too good to be true maybe. US and allows foreigners? ns2
