I am not negotiating with you, however, I only received 100 quid and I wanted to pay a friend for his help, I have sent them my passport and bank statement and they have verified me after a few days. Once I have received my 100 quid (pending for like 2 days) and wanted to send % to my friend they started asking for selfie with my document. Contacted their support only to be told I cannot have my account closed with balance inside. I said Ok transfer the balance to my local bank account then (IBAN under my name and such), they said send the selfie first, I said that I dont want to deal with their company anymore and honestly reviews on the web are highly manipulated companies like trustpilot and such are paid to keep their reputation good, I have found a website and even sent it to their support with many unhappy customers victims of the TransferWise fraud.I doubt Transfer Wise is a Scam I think they have put some procedures in place to avoid fraud!
But why if everything with your account is legit you didn't want to send them a selfie? What harm can that cause?I am not negotiating with you, however, I only received 100 quid and I wanted to pay a friend for his help, I have sent them my passport and bank statement and they have verified me after a few days.

To put this simlpe PayPal can hold your funds for 6 months and release them even on accounts without any documents provided, I have sent transferwise my passport and my bank statement legit and they did not want to give me my money. So my money are stuck inside the account. Not to mention the massive breach of the new EU law because I could request from them to close my account and delete the data (ofc they can keep it for 5 years) but basically in my situation I cannot have my acc closed bcz of the balance and they also dont want to transfer the funds inside to my own local bank account. If they are not a scam, they are very very close to it. As I said even PayPal being a huge company and payment processor dont steal your funds like this.
Because I have seen a neutral review website and some people have their accounts closed without any email or notification and "goodbye" to all funds inside.B

Stop calling them scammer, they are not.
Check the link I have posted. Their customer support is beyond terrible - reps treat you like a half brain monkey, no communication between departments, no sense "solutions". They wait for you to load the account with some funds so they can rob you, thats the harish truth. Rest of the EMIs have cons and pros but TW is the only company holding my money and not allowing me to transfer funds to my own local bank account. If they really want to be fair and dont want your "business" they should allow you to transfer the funds and terminate your agreement like intelligent people.I am having the same issue like Rachel right now with my Borderless Business account. I have 25k usd inside and they deactivated the account without notification. Now, I am expecting their Business support to let me know how to proceed, but I am very frustrated with the way they did that. First couple of transfers went through harmlessly and when a bigger one (20k usd) came into the account, they just shut it down......................
TransferWise is a SCAM!
PayPal allow you to withdrawal your funds after 6 months (including non verified accounts) and TW just keep your funds and do not allow you to withdrawal. And I have posted the link:I know you are angry at what happened to you but describing TW as a scam over £100 is beyond being a reasonable human being....lol. I have never had any incidents with them at all. It's like calling PayPal a scam when they freeze or terminate your account....which they do often...lol.

full of incidents, I am confused you are upgraded member "offshore consultant" and you don't know how to do proper reputation check on Google and such. Not to mention I have posted the link already and there are many cases on that review website.
Didn't had any such problems.. when they request information or additional proof I provide and good is..
