Blackcatcard Card

[Oakgrove]

I got a CF number issued by TIM when purchasing a prepaid SIM card back⁢ in 2011. Number was actually valid (validated using various CF online calculators), and calculated as︀ a foreigner (I'm not Italian and don't live there). Even successfully used it to open︁ a Hype online bank account a few years ago (which they subsequently blocked/closed a few︂ months later - not sure why, maybe because of my non-EU citizenship 😛 ). Last month︃ the "official" website to validate CF (Verifica codice fiscale di persona fisica o di︄ soggetto diverso da persona fisica) says that my CF is no longer valid. Not︅ sure if they "cleaned house" after the past 10+ years. @newNomad , in my particular︆ case, is it worth going to the consulate to get a new CF issued, or︇ would they ask a lot of questions (because I had a 'quasi' CF issued by︈ TIM at one time?) Would reason being "planning to purchase a retirement home in Sardinia"︉ good enough for them to give me one?

Also heard about the various lawyers/introducers who︊ supposedly can help open a bank account in Italy (as a prospective real estate buyer),︋ although not sure what others have experienced.

And back to the topic...the last time I︌ tried to get a BlackcatCard in late 2021, I got a Gekkard card instead. Same︍ company (Papaya in Malta), same type of IBAN: MTxxx, I just didn't get that cool︎ black card... 🙁 Not sure what happened.

TIM doesn't issue CFs rof/% the shop clerk simply calculated it based on your data, as you can do yourself on many sites, so that you could buy from them, as they need to fill that field in the form.

I have a question regarding blackcatcard. Someone I know got his money locked by those‌ guys and they requested SOF for recent 5 digit payment. Everything was submitted a couple‍ of weeks ago and since then no updates. Each time he asks about updates they⁠ keep telling him that they still reviewing it. Perhaps some of you here have contact⁤ with someone close to owners of this biz? To try to accelerate his case, or⁣ is this a lost cause already? Any help/input would be greatly appreciated.

This why I would never trust EMI
At least with bank, you can⁢ go to their office and deal with them in person

 

[vehzag]

Maybe they have faced some problems now. Because they are telling me that⁢ they are reviewing my application for so long already even though I gave them all︀ the docs

 

[JohnLocke]

What has been the time they have taken to review your docs?

 

[Alexmorgan]

Its happening‍ with Banks too

BOA and Chase blocking accounts

The problem started with 2022 since the⁠ compliance is 100% handled by the EMIs and the banks then they started all problems⁤

Before moving 5 or 6 figures were fine

Now even moving 4 digits from your⁣ company account to your personal is a problem

They need to enhance AML system because⁢ its affecting people business who have nothing to do with any money laundry or financial︀ crimes

All what i see that the world is stopping new rich people and stop︁ the wealthy people from being more wealthy

Its A.M.L game

The bank who︈ provide them rhe service will check with the central bank and central bank will check︉ with gov to check the actual source

This game take time even if you provided︊ them all the documents they asked

 

[uranium]

Solution is very simple︂
You run a business and bank ask for SOF
You provide them invoice, contracts, bank︃ statement showing flow of funds
If bank won't ask for that, I think it is︄ not a reliable bank.

I think almost a month

Thank you for the information. Perhaps they are slow because⁠ it's summer and time for vacations.

 

[vehzag]

Maybe yes
We need more feedback from people here‍ who used it this month

I guess you are a big‍ fish for them and they treat you somewhat differently.

 

[Forester]

Exactly. From what I see, a month for reviewing‍ some compliance docs is, unfortunately, not an exception now /not only with Blackcatcard/ – simply⁠ a summer at the northern hemisphere 🙁
(I do not mean that it should be expected⁤ generally round the year.)

 

[Marshal]

Thanks for your input. Just spoke with a guy and he said that he already asked⁠ them to return/refund the money to the originating account. No response received yet.

 

[Forester]

If you keep us posted about the updates, it will be⁠ appreciated.
