   Real easy to use-- at first. As time went on it got harder and harder to get it to work. Finally it 'lost' my password, so I couldn't use it, and 'Support' never got back to me; but they did send me a 'customer satisfaction survey.' Hah!

   👎 Cons:    No customer support!

• Americans are spending billions on stuff they forget to cancel

  I use a service called Privacy [1] to generate virtual card numbers, which I than use with all of my subscriptions. All of the virtual cards are tied to a physical credit card used as the funding source. I get a notification every time a card is charged or a charge is denied (if it's above the set limit or no longer active). This has saved me from fraud where a single-use virtual card # I used to pay for airport... - Source: Hacker News / 4 months ago

• Dbrand refusing to steal my money

  One more option I can think of trying is using privacy.com with you debit card. Source: 5 months ago

• Gift cards that work with tutanota.com? Or private virtual cards?

  Ideally would be something I could buy anonymously with cash since I want to use it on a health related site, but I'd accept a private/name hidden card at least. Not sure if privacy.com cards, wise, or others might work with it. Source: 5 months ago

  Lol, Also helpful tip. If you're going to use Fubo you should also use privacy.com. It lets you set up single use cards with spending limits so you don't accidently get charged. You can cancel the cards at anytime too. Source: 5 months ago

• Invoicing foreign country

  You can get a European bank account with Wise and transfer the money to your SA bank account at much lower fees than PayPal or whatnot. You will also get much better conversion rates than having the company do SWIFT payments into your SA account. Source: 11 months ago

• Looking for a UK bank account that I can use to pay bills/direct debits to French companies. Credit Agricole Britline turned me down :(

  Have you looked into a Wise multi currency account? I believe you can setup SEPA (euro) direct debits with it as well as send SEPA transfers in euros with low fees: https://wise.com/gb/multi-currency-account/. Source: almost 2 years ago

• Joint bank account

  If not, I would also recommend Wise. It's a great service, especially if you are going to need to fund the account with both GBP and EUR. Not only can you use Wise to move GBP to EUR, you could also use it as a multi-currency bank account. Source: about 2 years ago

• US Bank for non-US citizen/resident (EU citizen)

  Yeah I agree - OP should investigate getting a Wise multi currency account in USD https://wise.com/gb/multi-currency-account/. Source: about 2 years ago

• I need to get paid in USD. Can i open a USD bank account here? Or else what can be done here?

  Try this, it's cheaper and easier https://wise.com/gb/multi-currency-account/. Source: about 2 years ago
