Why

I suggest move to https://www.xapobank.com/. They are pro bitcoin and even support lightning. I'm using in Brazil and really liking the service.

Interesting: for those of you in the US…

Xapo works on almost countries, but it's not supported in US.

Not supported my country

USA?

Nope, EU prison island

Hum, now I'm curious to know which EU country Xapo is not supported.

The CEO is def a bitcoiner, gave a great talk years ago:

He is chairman now, the CEO is Seamus Rocca.

That sucks, what’s the reason?

They wont tell you sht and just cancel you. You've been warned, dont trust them and dont use their services.

This is one thing that sucks most about money remittance services. With PayPal, TransferWise and now Revolut. They will suspend or prevent transfer of funds, and hold hostage of funds and not return them. It sounds like an organized scam with strong legal representatives to back them.

Yeah and stay far away from Paysera, a Lithuanian tyrant fintech bank. Your best bet is just using legacy local banks that are increasingly desperate for depositors and don't invest that much in 'fraud surveillance' tools. Try to get accounts at multiple classic banks to spread your p2p trades and manage risk. Obv dont keep any money there because they will all blow up sooner or later.

Did they give you a reason?

They wont do that.

🫡

I thought Wise was the kind of thing that is always paranoid about what the users do. Revolut seemed to care less, at least for me. But now I’m not sure…

Wise is horrendous but Revolut will block you too and they won't explain sht. Cancel them before they cancel you.

I suggest to try Xapo. They are pro bitcoin: https://www.xapobank.com/

Thanks! It might be good indeed, but I’m afraid there will be not many trading partners on bisq and robosats using Xapo, or am I wrong?

I don't know, needs to look. But needs to start somewhere, right?

Too much #RoboSats for their taste?

Pretty much

Why?

-> why

Can you give us more details, please? 🤔

Join the club... worst 'bank' ever and can't wait for them to go bankrupt.

Some worth of advice, don't switch to 'Paysera', 'Wise' or any other fintech app. They have a whole chinese-style surveillance apparatus in place and hate bitcoiners. Let them go bankrupt.

Xapo is pro bitcoin: https://www.xapobank.com/

I prefer to just sell p2p

I mean if you need a card or USD.

Them relying on USDC is a 🚩 for me. Also they dont seem to have any integration with the EU banking system. If you want to use p2p btc trades you need a SEPA account in the EU... So what can they really do for you? The card for 120 dollar a year?

I don't see any problem to accept usdc or usdt to receive dollars. They convert the stablecoins to dollar. They have integration with GBP banking. But I understand you, maybe not a service to all, but for people that lives in underdeveloped countries, can make sense.

Same happened to me. Bunch of clowns, eventually managed to close my account and cut my card to pieces.

Yeah thanks, I do intend to look into them when I get some spare time. 👍
