  1. #Wise supports Malaysia's #DuitNow QR payments now, which is great - it now supports a bunch of the other ASEAN QR payments too. I assumed that meant they also support Indonesia's #QRIS, but seems not... so that's kind of ass. Thought it's perfect timing ahead of my Bali trip, being able to pay using Wise through QRIS, but I guess not. I could, by using my bank directly though, but obviously that wouldn't have as good rates.

  3. Loan schemes are like alcohol. We drink alcoholic drinks today; we feel calm today, but it is actually borrowing tomorrow's happiness and calm. The next day, we'll feel discomfort and other effects.

  5. Does anyone here have a wise.com account?

    This is a bit embarassing, but how would I even pay using their "digital cards"?

    Their website says "just like with your physical card!" but, well, cleary not. It's not in my pocket, to begin with.

    How do you usually "take out" a digital card? And then, you just hold your phone to the contact point and it will just work? What if it doesn't? Do you need NFC enabled? Do you need internet?

    Please, someone enlighten me.

  7. @img What do you mean? I was redirected to TrueLayer from Wise.com actually.

    It's a fully legit attempt from legit companies, but I have some doubts if this approach should ever be taken or even legally allowed.

    What I assume is TrueLayer automating bank operations using web browser automation using my credentials. But if I ask my bank, they'd say never give your credentials to any third party.

  9. TELL ME WHAT HAPPENED

    I would love to see more people write about what they have actually lived.

    Not the slogan.

    Not the position.

    Not the borrowed certainty.

    Tell me what happened to you.

    What changed you.

    What frightened you.

    What helped.

    What failed.

    What you believed before experience corrected you.

    The smallest honest account of a life is usually more interesting than another polished opinion.

    You do not need to sound wise.

    You do not need to teach anyone.

    Just say what happened, and what it did to you.

    That is where real conversation begins.

  11. I've used happily for the last few years Wise to affordably transfer money between Aotearoa NZ and the EU.

    Now my parents tried to contribute some money to our son's hobby. The transfer has been rejected by the local (German) bank (the city's Sparkasse). This screams to me like discrimination and/or censorship (maybe to suppress competition on lucrative transactions).

    I've just done a bit of research. And it seems illegal since 2014 – though not uncommon – for European banks to bar transactions to/from banks with a different origin nation's IBAN (international bank account number).

    It makes me furious!!!

    It's like demanding DOCX formats even though PDF or ODT are a legal requirement.

    Let's talk about the overflowing wheelbarrow of shit I recently encountered while reinstalling a whole bunch of apps onto my #Android phone after deleting them for privacy reasons before going through customs. Buckle up, it's a wild ride.

  15. Und dann schicken sie dir allen Ernstes noch so eine Mail hinterher:

    "Vielen Dank, dass du das Support-Team von Wise kontaktiert hast. Wir würden gerne von dir erfahren, wie wir uns in Zukunft noch verbessern können.

    Warst du mit der Unterstützung zufrieden, die du von unserem Team erhalten hast?"

    Einfach irre.

  17. @monniele Absolutely, yes. These companies have quite some risk due to shady customers, I fully understand that.

    However, from a professional company I do expect that if e.g., they don't accept the country I am living in, that they simply *tell me that* and don't waste my time with in parts contradicting almost childish repetitions of "please provide a proof of the category A, B, C or D" stuff etc.

  19. Das Spiel geht dann beliebig lange weiter.

    Auf Nachfragen, was genau das Problem sei, ob es eventuell bestimmte Dokumente seien sollten, ob vielleicht irgendetwas fehle etc. kommen immer dieselben Textbausteine man solle doch bitte Dokumente der entsprechenden Kategorien hochladen. Sämtliche Nachfragen werden grundsätzlich ignoriert, vermutlich hat beim Training der KI dieser Teil gefehlt.

    Ich vermute, sie werden jetzt in ein paar Tagen das Konto schließen. Ob ich das Geld, das derzeit auf dem Konto ist und an das ich jetzt nicht mehr ran komme, nochmal wiedersehe, werden wir dann sehen. Bin nur froh, dass ich dieses Geschäftskonto noch nicht aktiv für Kunden genutzt hatte, uiuiui, das hätte wirklich hässlich werden können.

    Komplett unseriöser Laden. Kann man nur dringend von abraten.

  21. Man liest im Internet jede Menge Horror-Stories über fehlschlagende #KYC Prüfungen, gesperrte Konten usw. bei #Wise (ehemals #TransferWise).

    Ich hab das nie wirklich ernst genommen. Was soll schon passieren mit einem echten Wohnsitz, entsprechenden Abrechnungen, offizieller Steuernummer usw.?

    Inzwischen bin ich schlauer.

    Das geht dann (vereinfacht) so:

  25. A flower in space 🌌

    NASA’s WISE infrared telescope captured the Rosette Nebula — a huge star-forming cloud of gas and dust in the Milky Way, about 5,000 light-years away in Monoceros.

    The young star cluster NGC 2244 sits near the center, carving out the nebula with intense stellar winds.

  27. A quotation from The Bible

    Some people are thought to be wise because they don’t talk much; others are disliked because they talk too much. Some people keep quiet because they don’t have anything to say; others keep quiet because they know the right time to speak. A wise person will not speak until the right moment, but a bragging fool doesn’t know when that time is.
     
    [ἔστιν σιωπῶν εὑρισκόμενος σοφός,
    καὶ ἔστιν μισητὸς ἀπὸ πολλῆς λαλιᾶς.
    ἔστιν σιωπῶν, οὐ γὰρ ἔχει ἀπόκρισιν,
    καὶ ἔστιν σιωπῶν εἰδὼς καιρόν.
    ἄνθρωπος σοφὸς σιγήσει ἕως καιροῦ,
    ὁ δὲ λαπιστὴς καὶ ἄφρων ὑπερβήσεται καιρόν.]
