I primarily relied on
AdvCash for ATM withdrawals due to its higher withdrawal limit (500€ per day) and less reporting requirements. However, I'm now seeking advice on alternative cards and ATM withdrawal options that offer similar benefits with less reporting hassle. Can you recommend any options available nowadays?
Advcash doesn't report as it's just a white label solution over the top of another banking offering *union pay* run through the Caribbean, they do the reporting.
Honestly did you think no one reports lol
This is card is not reported ?
They are all reported, I won't reveal the name of the bank behind the Union Pay aspect, but they do the reporting as standard under
CRS/FACTA etc.
Oh and my face right now when people realise their transactions are reported as standard.
