    Beware of HSBC Expat

    I would imagine i might hit some flags if I used a sketchier EMI - Wise and Revolut are pretty mainstream and reputable as far as EMIs go. I mostly use HSBC as a safe "storage" so to speak. Also depends I guess on where you are from, the transfer sizes etc. The most I ever did in one transfer...

    Beware of HSBC Expat

    It depends on what you compare it to... if I look at what most banks in Poland have as far as banking apps, they are 10 years ahead of HSBC. I can't even find my IBAN number in the HSBC Expat app, I have to login to the website.

    Moving Funds from Wise Business (US LLC) to EU Bank Account - Is This Fine?

    I've done exactly this with no issues until Wise stopped liking that Sheridan, Wyoming address everyone uses.

    Question strange request from a client: to buy USDT

    I wish more businesses would use USDT and USDC. The transfers are cheap and nearly instant. I got a transfer from Bulgaria to RelayFi and it's been 2 weeks so far. After 12 days they got the wire and decided they want SOF/Documentation . I submitted it Sunday and am still waiting.

    Wise, Airwallex or Zen?

    They didn't even reply to me when I tried to onboard my US LLC.... I can tell you from experience they are quite unreliable, their support is stupid, their API is poorly documented/incorrectly documented and the KYC my client went through took like 4-5 months with them wanting everything short...

    Looking for advice on hosting for video streaming (HLS) – what’s the best approach?

    It's worth noting that any ready-made service you use will cost exponentially more then a dedicated server and running it yourself. Even taking the above-mentioned pinata.cloud as an example, their biggest $100/mo plan is 2,5tb of bandwidth which goes very fast with video.

    Looking for advice on hosting for video streaming (HLS) – what’s the best approach?

    You will likely want to self-host. Good offshore hosting is https://vsys.host/ in their UA data center. Someone recommended hosting in Moldova - in my one experience with a Moldovian datacenter it was absolutely fucking terrible, constant downtime and slow as hell. If you want to have adaptive...

    SVG based Marketing Company is looking for a business bank account

    I agree with @Fred - I ended up not really using my SVG corp because of banking issue. It's next to impossible to get card processing or any "normal" banking. It really only makes sense if you are using it as the holding company for something sketchy or are going to be dealing with mostly crypto.

    Yes. They were overall super knowledgable about substance requirements etc as well. I know I overpaid there but it was worth it for the info I got.
