We're officially parting with TransferWise.com - Let's collaborate on alternatives

The system provides:

  1. Real-time tracking.
  2. Most wires are credited in minutes (claim was taken from the link)
  3. Fees are clearly stated (no guesstimating)

One of the banks offering it in our country is Santander Bank SA: https://www.santander.pl/

Problem solved?

Oh lord, that bank even states it fully supports escrow and financial services via SWIFT GPI.

Case closed, we’re sticking to wire.

This will also be a blessing security-wise. It’s easier to verify a TransferWise account with your friend’s info vs. getting a new bank account. Also, even friends don’t usually let friends use their bank accounts. Scams should decrease because of this move even further.

Please Consider WESTERN UNION it’s reliable, fast and worldwide.

We won’t be considering it as we’ve used it in the past and it’s:

  1. Cumbersome
  2. Expensive
  3. Finances go through additional checks and go through a US-based company

Faster payments for UK banks and something similar for the US i don’t remember whats its called, helps with wire transfers usually around 2hrs wire transfers.

Ill find what its called and post here if your are interested, it available in CEX

Payoneer ?

Hey guys,

Have you checked these?

Might help.

Skrill is amazing. Also western union if possible.

Several people mentioned Skrill but I wouldn’t recommend it. They used to have horrible reviews about 1-2 years ago which somehow changed but their other company NETELLER (basically the same thing but different name) has an average of 1.5 star per review. Nearly all of the people are complaining about their funds being stuck and their accounts being disabled. I personally use Skrill from time to time but I consider it very shady and not suitable for a business of this size.

I agree, they have been awful for me. Skrill is a scammers paradise, terrible support.

I love payoneer and have been using them for years and it would be awesome if Swapd integrated them, but I’m not sure if they accept this kind of business model.

If I’m right Skrill is only in US

Skrill is known for money laundering and no bank here allows to use it for depositing or withdrawing.

Skrill is an online payments company that lets you make transactions and transfer money to many countries around the world. … The beneficiary can choose to receive funds directly into their bank account, although receiving money into a mobile wallet is also an option for a small number of countries.
I’ve see that people are saying that Skrill is not trusted , I haven’t used it before so i can’t tell anything

Skrill is a scammers haven. Please don’t go there!

Also, western union hates social media related payments. They ban people very easily citing security. Some of my most reliable vendors (with who I do 6 figure business on a monthly basis) have been banned there.

Just keep using TransferWise guys, it’s a good service it’s just that they don’t support us any longer. The only thing that will change now is no more instant TW to TW payments, that’s virtually it. Once we switch bank accounts our payouts should arrive quicker.

That was literally my suggestion lol. Make sure you are aware of the limits per bank. I know that 100K EUR per transaction is the limit set by the EU for an instant SWIFT/SEPA transaction; however, some banks put daily limits of 10K daily etc. Also, make sure that SWAPD users are aware that the bank does not always automatically activate instant transfers, sometimes they will have to activate it under ‘payment date’ or some other hidden settings.
