Dukascopy Card Services Suspended. Any other Recommendations?

[arwell]

Had a call with them today. I was told this week...hmmmm.....Fingers crossed we receive‍ our tiny funds back faster than the oligarchs get their boats back. Thanks god they⁠ did not seize/freeze the funds but "only" Corner suspended their service without any prior notice.⁤

 

[Volex]

This week is over and I have not received back the⁤ money held on my Dukascopy Card…

 

[arwell]

Now they say "next week". Hehe...

 

[Volex]

I think that Dukascopy‌ is not saying the truth about the money held in their card.

 

[arwell]

My personal opinion is that Corner bank has⁤ reacted wrong as western sanctions only shall affect specific Russian people and not all customers⁣ of a bank with a specific residency.....

Hate Fiat more and more....

 

[MisterJiM]

Same for me, the funds was removed from the card last week.
I get back‌ the money on my account today so check again!

 

[arwell]

Yeah well received, too, thanks 🙂

Corner misinterpreted the sanctions from VIsa/Master and were led from an‌ info that Russian citizens would circumvent sanctions with the Visa cards issued by Dukascopy.

If you guys read the report on their website carefully its becoming clear they Corner has‍ misinterpreted the situ. The so-called fake news on the Ucrainian webpage stated this story but⁠ this is not the target originally intended from the US/EWR sanctions...

DUKASCOPY, SUE THEM FOR⁤ DAMAGES ! GOOD CHANCES !

I still can't understand⁣ what exactly happened. I wonder WHEN and HOW will they overcome this situation

 

[clemens]

Same way as many of these EMI's have‍ done in the past i.e. Mister Tango, AdvCash, Paysera you name it.

 

[moksy]

May I ask you what‍ did they do ?

 

[bizman]

WTF how should he know that. @clemens do you worked for these companies and have some‌ insider knowledge?

 

[moksy]

He said "Same way as many of‍ these EMI's have done in the past" So I'm asking how did they do.⁠

 

[JohnLocke]

they replace the‍ card provider with a new one in the hope it will last longer. We have⁠ seen that with Mister Tango and AdvCash so with Xapo in the past. It worked⁤ well out for all three of them as far as I remember.

I hope people post here once they get their card back again, it's a shame‌ since they seem to be the only Swiss bank for private banking accepting foreigners without‍ amongos huge deposits.

 

[rockrock]

mistertango still has no card.

 

[bonox]

They have still no card.. I stopped using them years ago. Though they have it‌ back again.

 

[cp74]

Cards are partially back. I started to use mine as well. It's still Corner.

[boomy]

great, what does it mean partially? is it back or‍ not? we speak the physical card?

 

[moksy]

I reached them, they said that there was an update about the card provider .‌ AND NOW my country "Algeria" is not supported anymore.

 

[rockrock]

Bets that this ain't gonna happen?
