Fuck Fiat! I’m beyond mad right now.
I’ve been using Transferwise (now Wise) for years to send money to my mom in my country of origin once in a while. I was actually very pleased with their services, and I even used the Wise debit card on my last trip to Europe, and it worked very well.
But now, I was about to send just $500 to my mom again and they are asking me to take a fucking picture of my driving license or my passport and a fucking selfie “for identity verification”!!!
WHAT THE ACTUAL FUCK??!!!! Is this how it is going to be from now on? They already have all the info about me they need; I even linked my checking account to Wise a long time ago and have 2FA activated. They definitely know me. But this is now not enough???
Fuck that, fuck fiat and fuck banks. I don’t know any Bitcoiner in my city of origin to help my mom out. Otherwise, I would send her Bitcoin. I will have to find another way, but I definitely not going to go through all these stupid, unnecessary and DANGEROUS loops just to send a few bucks.
FUCK THAT!
