Failed international Debit Card delivery and other more serious things. Not everything, just several different things. And if I knew I can't switch provider, I'd let the company expire and form a new one with a provider who doesn't lock me in. I'd even get a better price than I'm paying now, as...

Keep in mind that if you choose Fred as your service provider, you might NOT be able to switch to another provider. I'm currently trying to switch from DLS Dubai to another provider (for personal reasons I don't want to disclose now), but unfortunately, Fred is preventing me from doing so. Now...

Yeah only AFTER I was complaining publicly and AFTER you doxed me here on this forum (posted my real name here). This is another untrue statement from you. It wasn't a "week later", it was after much longer time and AFTER I spent literally hours on the phone trying to track the card because...

That's good news. Can you pls share which currency and from which country/bank have the funds been sent? (you can DM me if you don't want to share publicly). That's not true, I was following your advice to the letter (at least for the first 5 months after which I gave up).

Guys, how are your ENBD and other accounts working? Has anybody sucesfully cashed out at least mid 6 figures?

Hi BlueMist, have you tested the card and got just 1% worse rate than the market fx rate? That would be great cause for other UAE banks it's 2-3% (real fx loss). (Plus there's another 0.4-0.5% fee for USD/EUR to AED conversion, as the cards can only be linked to AED account) And for business...

From a UAE bank? What's the name of the card? (and the bank if you can share)

You mean for account opening with IB? Took couple of days... Are you from a high risk country?

Can you sell BTC directly through their platform? What's the fee for that?

Here's my review: No business bank account opened after more than 5 months. Well actually, 1 business EMI account opened, but they closed it after receiving 2 small wires because they didn't buy the "cashout scheme" (the compliance officer figured out it's bulls**t). Opened a personal...

Can somebody confirm this?

Actually I did contact IB support and they said "IBKR does not accept cryptocurrency as a source of funds". They said this applies to all IB accounts in all jurisdictions. You were avoiding direct answer, that's why I had to ask like 3 times in "that tone". What you're saying is the opposite of...

When did they ask for this? What exactly do you mean by this? Have you seen these "forms and doc types"? How do you know they "have" them? What's the source and date of these informations that you're posting here?

But IB asked you for source of your funds, you told them it's from crypto and they were cool with it? Is that correct?

So IB asked you for all this after you have deposited funds from your bank account? Can you share when was this and what were the amounts?

I didn't mean the income info they ask for at the beginning.. I meant if they actually start asking for some documents once I start receiveng big wires. What's your personal experience? Have you got more info on this?

1. At what amounts does IB start to ask questions about the source of funds? (let's say if you enter Annual Net Income " > $1 mil" and Net Worth also a very high amount) 2. Do they mind if the source of funds is crypto? (clean, from properly KYC'd exchanges and wires] coming from decent banks)...

Any solution if I want to hold US stocks directly? Anybody got more info on this or personal experience?

That's not a bad advice :)
