just an update , the numbers they initially shared weren’t as great as expected after factoring in everything , so I have declined the offer to relocate and will be staying in Dubai . Thank you again for all the feedback / advice …..

I wouldn’t be residing in the French speaking cantons and you are correct , the taxes are high. I will be in 15%-25% band most likely if I include the wealth tax .

Many thanks for all the opinions…. If I accept the offer , then I will be based in the DE part . We have lived in Germany before and had similar experiences with taxes and the constant bills arriving in the mail, in fact I can’t think of a place where I have received so much physical mail...

Dear Friends , Seeking some advice . Currently in Dubai , corporate dude , life is easy , career is what it is, money is good , work life balance is excellent, career growth is low. Currently I have an opportunity to move with the kids to Switzerland. More money after tax…. Maybe not as...

There’s a place in business bay called Stabit (on Google) used them a couple of times and it was very smooth . Bring your passport and you will walk out the door with AED in hand .

Happened in Lebanon . Google “lollars”

I am the sender (personal premier account) to an individual account not in my name , doesn’t really matter but generally has been in Germany , Malta , and Cyprus. Again no fees for outgoing, also usually same day arrival.

The outgoing transfer is from hsbc to a non HSBC bank. Incoming no success so far on avoiding the fee.

A slight comment here. If you use the app, not the website , you can transfer from HSBC expat to SEPA EU bank account free of charge. It usually same day as well. As soon as you use the website they tack on their 25 -35 euro fee…

ADCB and Emirates NBD work , but this is with transfers coming from Rain.BH not binance. Also the transfers were not close to six figures.

Personal experience ! There are other UAE banks out there that will accept transfers from exchanges. I let others give their feedback .

Avoid at all costs ….. Hsbc uae will block this transaction …. There are some places in business bay you can cash out crypto , which would be easier and hassle free

Look at their "professional" behavior in response to criticism on trustpilot and judge for yourself whether you want to use them...lol. They will put your business out there with no client confidentiality applied...lol. Yikes definitely wouldn’t use them again
