switch to an actual bank. problem will be solved
like FNB?
FNB is hostile to crypto as well :/ We should get a list going, banks that work well with crypto and those fighting to protect the status quo. At least then people can make informed choices and avoid the crypto scared banks.
In theory yes, but have they actually made it difficult to deposit or withdraw from exchanges?
Didnt we have a thread about FNB closing down accounts linked to people with crypto?
Nothing was ever proved or confirmed but more importantly I've heard nothing from the many other crypto users on the forum to indicate there's any issues with FNB.
I personally know of at least 5 individuals who have had their FNB accounts closed due to crypto trading
Ja that's fine, but until they join the forum and share it's kinda moot. There's a load of other people on here and IRL who use FNB to either fund local exchanges or to cash out and I haven't heard of any issues. Not disputing your claim...just saying it's not much to go on.
That's one of the big problems. If FNB just came out and clarified their stance everyone would know what they deem to be acceptable and what not. Right now it is all a guessing game which helps no one.
Ja it's annoying. Not sure what their problem is - if they feel complicit in some imaginary crime (people not paying taxes on crypto?) or if they don't really understand it or they're afraid to scare away clients. Dunno. Bank Zero have given a very fluffy & superficial indication they'll be crypto friendly but right now they still feel a bit like vaporware so we'll see.
dunno what difficulty you're hitting, but it works fine for me:
Thanks, I was such a banana! Searched for VALR and found them, made a payment just fine...
LOL!!!! This is hilarious
No it won't since it's a PEBKAC error...
Folks, now I feel that I can be at home in this forum! This is exactly the mistake I made and result I had while fighting with the Standard Bank app when trying to enter the Johannesburg municipality account details manually. Use the account details they have in the app and everything works fine.
