QUOTE(weisinx7 @ May 15 2020, 08:18 AM) yea, i did receive the email and they mentioned about the compensation of some RM, but still didn't see the money in my account. I still can see the borderless account in my account now Didn't see the RM in my acc either. Sent an email and this is what I got from them: Three weeks ago, we planned to close borderless for Thailand and Malaysia residents. We sent out emails to our customers but since then we’ve had a chance to revisit the decision and have decided to no longer close borderless for new or existing users in Thailand, or for existing users in Malaysia. This means that only new users with a Malaysia address will not be able to get borderless accounts.

QUOTE(chrysm @ May 9 2020, 12:46 AM) Is Paypal the only viable option for holding USD? Get foreign account example with HSBC. Paypal is expensive due to rate.

Thanks for sharing, I restarted the email thread I had previously with TW support, but hadnt gotten a reply yet unfortunately. I'm still wondering how this will pander out, I'm just worried if I move funds back in again, and this happened again, it's so disruptive...

I only opened my TW a few weeks ago and using the account to deposit GBP, works fine ... no issues. Guess I was just in time!

Hopefully they are not fickle-minded and decide to revise it once again. I've pulled out all my funds then they sent the update

Just funded my USD borderless account, seems to have no issue but I could be missing something. Anyone still hold foreign currencies (non MYR) in their borderless acount?

it's just some error from their side, should be no issue now. Also now they changed their name to Wise , and exchange speed is quite fast as well, within half an hour i can see the the money in my local bank already.
