QUOTE(Ramjade @ Dec 9 2021, 01:02 AM) How did you fund the card? As we cannot hold MYR in the card, don't know how to fund the card. Weird, why not? I enabled MYR in my multi-currency account, funded it with FPX via bank transfer. When I paid for local merchant in MYR it deducted from my MYR wallet at 0 fee. Works fine for me. I even withdrawn directly from IBKR to my GBP account and spend direct from there. It's everything I've wanted in one of my previous thread.

QUOTE(c64 @ Mar 1 2022, 06:35 PM) I just have a fraud transaction on BigPay yesterday. Suddenly a transaction pops up. Bigpay support also useless. Now cancelled my old card and get a new one. Seems like lots of frauds and scam with Bigpay. I think i will look into Transferwise instead. Lucky only RM40+ fraud transaction. Last year got hit by fraudulent transaction they offered to reverse it... guess this year no more money? Either way only Bigpay gave me so much headache. Wondering if I should cancel it along with my parent's. It's just so damn bad now. |

QUOTE(c64 @ Mar 1 2022, 07:12 PM) Yes, once i found an alternative, i will drop it. Not worth saving a bit of money for so much headache. If it's purely for international spending, I find Wise save me more money than Bigpay. (I spend quite a bit in USD and GBP). |

QUOTE(c64 @ Mar 1 2022, 07:20 PM) Yes, that's the purpose for use for BigPay...buy online USD and travelling. Now i just gotta jump ship.  Yeap, then Wise is perfect for you then. You can refer to this thread for some info despite the thread name, lol. https://forum.lowyat.net/topic/4953197/+480 |
