Transferwise > Bitcoin

[Nanoo]

Transferwise seem to block Ibans used by LBC users, crypto exchanges and debit card > crypto as well, is there a solution to transfer funds from Personal transferwise to bitcoin wallet?

If you don't want to publish the solution publicly you can send me a message.

(EMIs watch this forum.)

Some people may have problems to avoid using EMI's because they lack to get a bank‌ account.

Can't you send the money from TW to a third-party prepaid card account and then‌ buy bitcoin with that third-party prepaid card? TW will get to see nothing other than‍ card provider it went to.

p.s if this restriction is not in T&C then we⁠ will soon know if TW reads this forum 😀.

They block what they can, if they suspect it's used mainly‍ for crypto, but obviously they can't block everything.
A good recent example is the TW⁠ => Mister Tango route block.

Fintech companies (due to banks they use) deciding where⁠ you spend your money especially when cash is fading away in Europe is simply totalitarianism⁤ in the making - no exaggeration.

I can honestly imagine 10 years from now all⁣ merchants accepting EU issued cards around the world are going to be forced to register⁢ in some EU database in order to be able to accept EU card payments ns2. With cash gone I can imagine they can then track everything you spend money on......welcome︀ to the future 🙁.

So use MT or kraken directly. Get verified accounts and you are good to go.‌
