    Worldfirst review. Ongoing.

    I'm having trouble with them, if you are a sole entrepreneur avoid them at all costs, they come up with nonsense reasons to refuse incoming funds (even though done with legit paperwork), then take absolute ages to refund. I really mean ages! It's outrageous.

    The 180 days protection for the buyer could easily become 2-5 years, beware using PayPal!

    That is an avoidable comment, as unfortunately small businesses are owned by their customers, I'm personally offering lots of alternative payment methods and even charging 5 per cent for those who want to use PayPal (even though it's against their rules), and still customers prefer PayPal as...

    A way to overcome 1st transaction by PIN code to "activate" a UK card?

    Okay, I'm not convinced either that the PIN transaction would be the cause, I fear customer service just said that since I mentioned it first.. Probably something to do with Flywire (which gladly accepted my EUR card issued by the very same bank, and pocketing €110 more in currency conversion...

    Here the story. A buyer from 2 years ago opened a case not for not receiving the goods but for unauthorised transaction! You have received a case What's happening with this case? The buyer stated that they did not make this purchase. Until this case is closed, we have put a temporary hold...

    A way to overcome 1st transaction by PIN code to "activate" a UK card?

    I'm in the EU and, other than my usual card in EUR, I also ordered a GBP debit card with a multicurrency EMI. I followed their instructions and activated the card, the card now correctly shows as "activated" in the app. Still, when I tried to make a payment online for a UK university module for...

    Is there a timescale for rolling out the new IBANs? I haven't had any news from them yet.

    Blackcatcard migration - difficulties with incoming/outgoing SEPA transfers

    I still have the -now unfortunately useless- Maltese IBAN, happy to hear they're getting back to normality. I agree Bulgaria is not great but better than nothing I suppose..

    Alternative to blackcatcard

    Would that still be a Maltese IBAN (doubt it) or a EU one?

    Blackcatcard migration - difficulties with incoming/outgoing SEPA transfers

    They're not taking or stealing money, you can use the card to spend the funds if that's a worry.

    Alternative to blackcatcard

    I personally haven't tried yet, but did they not mention they would replace the MT IBAN for something more.. European like BE FR etc.. I seem to still have the Malta IBAN.

    How is Currenxie now and do it works with Wise?

    Personally happy with them. Although I would have preferred if they could issue a prepaid card to me so I could use the funds easily (based in EU).

    Is there a way to know someone has properties abroad in her name?

    Thanks for the link. The owner of those properties is either the woman or her mother, definitely not a company; since her mother is claiming a pension maybe they decided to register the properties to the daughter God knows.

    Is there a way to know someone has properties abroad in her name?

    EU resident. Is there a way to know whether someone has properties outside the EU (specifically Georgia) in her own name? (Probably a wife is hiding the fact she has properties there and claim stupid money to her husband)
