Yes, that's a relatively new fee. It does not apply to personal accounts and it's not for all countries.

A few years ago, if I remember correctly, it was allowed to withdraw around $600..800 or $1k from Wise card without fees. Nowadays it's gotten reduced to t $150 !!!
Do I remember correctly? I can't find any confirmation, but I remember that it used to be waaaaay higher.

I don't pay any fee to withdraw 1000 euro a day in cash in ATM.
it's normal now... they need to make money!

I seem to remember you had to transfer 19 euros to open a business account back in the day. And money had to come from any account other than your Wise personal account. Business account opening pricing seems very selective anyway. For businesses in US or UAE it says its free to open 😡. But EU ones seems they charge - or at least ones I quickly checked.
P.S Anyone notice the fees for receiving USD wires..high risk premium? 😉.

I think both, but the topic here was business account and that's of a greater value for anyone having a company in UAE since business banking is tough to get while a for a personal all you need is Emirates ID and you'll get your account trough app within 5 mins.
We used (Transfer)Wise and it was great, then they announced that they are getting (or even got) a banking license in UAE and all of a sudden just sent that email and it was it.
They closed shop.
Emiratis figured how much their banks would lose if they allow them to operate so they blocked the thing. Sending money is a huge business in UAE as a lot of︀ expats send their salaries back home to support their families.

No, they seem to be a very sneaky emi overall. But has some purpose for money transfer.
Process is as smooth as it gets even for US.

There are many exchange offices that allow sending money or money conversion.

they have an extremly long approval time at the moment... if the 55€ help to speed that up I'm fine.
Two years ago it was done in minutes.
