Yes, they only have SEPA region coverage using wirecard UK .. They‍ basically sent the same notice like everybody else. All cards are blocked until further notice.⁠
 
Wonder what card provider Euro Pacific Bank will use next. Most of their clients are‌ from Europe hiding out there with accounts smi(&%.
 
Does the FCA audit include looking at all customers of clients of Wirecard UK? You‌ got to do the audit properly right. Wasn't that the whole problem with Wirecard AG‍ in first place that past audits were weak ns2
 
I think they are checking accounting to see if there is another 1.9 billion missing 😀

I don't think that they are looking at their clients, everybody under the sun uses wirecard⁠ cards .. When transferwise support told me they were issuing their own cards I was⁤ shocked, because I was used to the fact that everybody just uses wirecard, it was⁣ automatic in my mind ..

EDIT : wait you just said "all customers of clients⁢ of Wirecard" lol, so obviously you were joking 😀 nevermind !
 
You're quite right. Even if sub 6-figure turnovers are ignored, it's by minimum a year of⁠ work to glance over the rest. Which means that fragmented laundering or fraud of any⁤ kind will not be caught. Which means that it's a muscle-flexing exercise. Or the FCA⁣ does not intend to follow the plan of German colleagues in which Wirecard's subsidiaries will⁢ be saved. And in this case, they have already decided to press the red button︀ and are now looking for a cause.

One thing is certain: there's not going to︁ be that one special customer with 1.9bn of undocumented euros.
 
Payoneer alone has 4 million customers ..⁠ How do you even begin to uncover a possible, wait what did they call the⁤ other 1.9 billion, a "elaborate and sophisticated fraud".
 
Would be better if Euro Pacific Bank issued virtual debit cards.‍ Oh wait......but Euro Pacific Bank customers all need access to cash via ATM's to repatriate⁠ the income they avoided paying tax on smi(&%.
 
Ok, let's say everybody from the companies that‌ I can trust with my money.

Yeah well good luck with that! I wouldn't want to be on⁠ that FCA team!

By the way an update from the FCA
https://www.fca.org.uk/news/news-stories/requirements-imposed-wirecard-authorisation

They keep saying⁤ the same thing, they want to make sure the money is safe.

Is that something⁣ diplomatic to say to reassure people, or does Wirecard germany have a way to access⁢ that money ? I mean what do they mean by safe ? safe from what︀ ?
 
Very diplomatic like the⁠ captain of the Titanic saying to passengers stay calm its just a little leak we⁤ have. Meanwhile the vessel is pointing skywards half submerged 🙁.
 
A pearl of a quote from that FCA's article Q&A smi(&%

LOL!... So please⁤ stop complaining, peasants, and make your way to the soup kitchen. But know that we⁣ still love you and we're only doing it for your protection.
 
That made me laugh. What a joke all very sad. Tells⁠ you how they really feel about public. I mean look at epayment customers money has⁤ been trapped since Feb 11th. Imagine having your money blocked that long.

So I say⁣ again to everyone when you hear a bank or EMI is in trouble just run.⁢ Don't wait for any "deposit insurance" or your "assets are segregated and safe". What's the︀ point of money being safe if you can't get to it for months..lol.
 
So what does this mean (about wirecard UK)

The company has appointed turnround specialist Alvarez‌ & Marsal, which is also considering other options including placing the business into administration if‍ it cannot convince the regulator to lift its suspension, according to people briefed on the⁠ situation.

Also an update from Payoneer CEO ..

he says they are going to cover ..‌ that means they know the outcome. Either the freeze will be lifted and he comes‍ out as a hero, or it doesn't and he is anticipating the blow out ...⁠ I assume he got confirmation of the freeze lift and he is trying to be⁤ a hero ..
 
BOOM I knew it

On 29 June 2020, the FCA provided written consent to allow‌ Wirecard to resume issuing e-money and providing payment services. The restriction on activities will lift‍ at 00.01 on 30 June 2020.
