Hey guys. I've recently set up shop in Dubai, and I'm now the owner of a Dubai FZE & an Emirates ID. Next step is to get a business bank account, but from my understanding, this isn't a walk in the park. My business is a marketing agency, providing consultancy services to companies operating...

They sent me the money to my personal bank account without issues. No issues dealing with large transfers with an Emirates NBD account. I had 7 figures in my closed Wise account. Good luck!

Fascinating to see how many people are actually affected by the s**t Wise pulls. I guess I got lucky with how quickly they wrapped up my case and sent me my money. I'm now incorporated in Dubai, and opened an Emirates NBD bank account. Have had no issues so far, and their card benefits are awesome.

Nobody? :D

Hey guys. I do some work for an EU-based licensed escrow service in the digital real estate industry. They support bank wires, PayPal and crypto. Not too long ago, we were put in a tough situation due to a wire callback (which was voided by sender shortly after), which caused our corporate bank...

You can create a Wise business account as a sole trader without having to provide business registration details, and then use this account for business-related activities. That's what I did. Regardless, I would advise against using Wise at all. For whatever reason, I'm still getting emails about...

It took around a month. Account closed mid December. Got refunded mid January.

You just have to be patient with them. Send the info they ask for, and cross your fingers for a positive response. Bumping your tickets (apparently) sends it to the bottom of the queue, so best if you're just patient. Good luck.

Valid. Thankfully, it wasn't all my eggs. But a lesson learned for sure.

The end. The money is now in my account.

Just got an email from Wise that my refund has been approved, and should be hitting my accounts in 0-2 working days. Hopefully this is the end of a hard lesson. Long story short, f**k Wise.

In that case, let's see if they add the $XX,XXX to my refund whenever and if ever that comes! Wonder if that's something I could release litigation lawyers on if it's missing from the refund.

What's funny is that the account was closed 1 hour before cashback was distributed. I'm not sure if business accounts get cashback/interest returns, but my personal account did lmao

Following my disastrous Wise situation, I'm looking to incorporate in Dubai. Not looking for full-service solutions, as I already have the business & residency visa pinned down. Looking for suggestions and recommendations for business banks in the freezone that supports crypto-related...

Nope. My account was closed near end of December. I've been told that they have to complete their "due diligence checks" which "may" take up to 60 working days. But reading similar stories as mine, this may actually take way longer. I have a legal team standing by to full-send a case once those...
