Received notification from Transferwise of Borderless Account closure. Must clear account by 14 May. Seems that this is affecting Malaysian resident only as you can still have your account reopened if you can prove that you are not Malaysian resident. Any other alternatives?

So Transferwise cannot be use to receive money from overseas anymore?

Is Instarem able to receive money from overseas such as UK, same functionality as borderless account?

I didn't receive any email either. We can still send from Malaysia to overseas and vice versa right?
Only thing is we can't keep $ in the wallet?
