Yesterday felt like a buy the dip kinda day.
Tried an exchange deposit since Bisq’s order book was quite thin. What a disaster:
• Starling Bank: Remembered that exchange deposits are blocked
• Wise: Found out that exchange deposits blocked
• Revolut: Transaction frozen, fraud quiz, then a 3-hour hold
• Monzo: Transaction frozen, passed around support agents with no ETA, account frozen.
4 banks, only one deposit went through after hours of hassle (ongoing with Monzo)
Are there any UK banks that just trust you to send and receive transfers?
