QUOTE(Hoshiyuu @ Dec 9 2021, 03:26 AM) 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. only for USD and EUR. Not for SGD. I transferred SGD from merchantrade to wise. Now still pending for verification.I even withdrawn directly from IBKR to my GBP account and spend direct from there.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.   no issue on USD (transfer from merchantrade) but cannot from Paypal as cannot link bank. |

QUOTE(!@#$%^ @ Dec 9 2021, 09:32 AM) what's the fee around 4.5% since the card is not US based (depend also on amount). If you use local card, then fees is cheaper. u will know before transfer as they will tell you before to proceedThis post has been edited by ericlaiys: Dec 9 2021, 09:35 AM |

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. after so many scam call, i have stop using bigpay. |

QUOTE(Ramjade @ Apr 21 2022, 09:20 AM) I am saying those digital banks like grab, Shopee are losing money with their grab and Shopee app. Out of curiosity, anyone know how singapore work for grab and shopeee on digital bank. I dont think they offer saving and tt to other country.So for them to offer digital banking at loss is something they might not do. TransferWise is do have profits and they are listed in LSE. |
