I must say you understand how to make people nervous about banks and EMI's - I read the thread about Wise and that they are closing accounts in an instant. Now, I would like to spread my 300K euros so that it's not all just with Wise, but rather distributed across 3 - 4 EMI's - I already have a Currenxie account. Are they still reliable or can one transfer money from Wise to Currenxie, are there any problems with that?

I am not a quitter, and therefore I share my sympathy with the content of this thread. thu&¤#

They do not open EU or UK accounts unless that you can provide first a bank statement from a real bank. Only accounts in HK. So unless you could open a bank account with a licensed bank first, you won't get a EU bank account with them.

Currenxie is reliable but about Wise-Currenxie transfer I cannot say anything (except I do not expect any problem at the Currenxie side).

Can't say about EU or UK accounts but local US accounts they open without showing a bank account with a licensed bank. But beware, from my experience, EU accounts cannot be opened for EU located companies.

Be aware that they don't accept companies that are registered in the United States so US LLCs are out of luck with Currenxie.
 
I've had an account in one of my companies with them for almost a year now. But I must say I haven't dared to transfer any money to them yet. Everything seems so messy and a bit amateurish compared to Revolut and Wise.

Therefore, it all may well be fine, and it seems that people are happy to use them, but I just have a really bad impression of their user interface.

Well, I've never seen the UI of Revolut, I must say; and I saw the UI of Wise for the last time ~2 years ago, so I happily almost do not remember it (but it was not anything extraordinary, IIRC) => I am perfectly happy with Currenxie 🙂
Seriously ”“ what I evaluate highly at Currenxie is their phone support. If you communicate with some clerk by e-mail, there is always a phone number in the signature and you can directly call this guy, if you think that it helps. It's quite extraordinary, IMO. From what I recall, Wise has phone support, too ”“ but just a generic line; and many EMIs (I guess that the majority) do not offer phone support at all...

Thanks for your opinion @Forester

May I ask how long you have been using them and how large amounts you are processing through them? Do you also leave money with them, or do you only use them as a flow-through service?

For ~ 2 years...

4-5 figures transactions routinely...

It is definitely not a “classical” flow-through. Some low 6 figures are permanently there, due to the nature of the business... (Feel free to PM me, if you need more details.)

They do not offer private accounts. Just business ones.

Do you still make a lot of transactions with them? I'm seriously considering opening an account, but after reading all this, I'm a bit unsure. If their UI isn't user-friendly or you have to do a lot manually to transfer money from A to B, then I'm not interested.

You are asking me, I presume 😉
TBH, I would not say that I am making a lot of transactions there; I am not much in the business already, I consider myself more like a retiree 😉. Yet some companies that I somehow monitor are using Currenxie routinely and I do not hear any complaints.

On condition that nothing has changed in the last months, I personally consider their UI very good. Yet be advised I am an oldschool boy and my main criteria for a good UI are
”“ simple/easy to navigate;
”“ no bells and whistles;
”“ not resource-hungry.

Click to expand...
Not at all. If I recall well, Currenxie uses a concept of beneficiaries. I.e., if you want to send money to some subject, you must introduce them as a beneficiary ”“ it means to enter their payment information to the system. After having a (new) beneficiary, you can send them some amount just by a few clicks.

Well, you can also just try it and eventually let it be, there is neither account opening fee nor maintenance fee and the onboarding is not a nightmare, IMO.
