Verifo EMI asking for source of funds for 50 EUR

[whatname]

It is indeed disgusting and sad. Regardless of red flags.

Random checks do happen.
Why not to use crypto instead of those banks/EMIs that are only good for their own laundering schemes?

Because I have no idea what Crypto is and I don't understand it. I know that fiat money is at least backed by the stability, power and economic strength of the country issuing it, but I simply do not trust crypto. I do understand the power of gold & silver, but it is still just a metal and dependent on someone accepting the value. To my knowledge, I cannot pay for water, vodka or bread with an Austrian 4 Ducat coin.

Yes, Of course it is true but sometimes it is necessary to have the money diversified in several ways

I'm sure that their computer just chooses people at random. Probably to appease the auditors?

I think the same.

I realised they wanted a photo of my passport .... again!? I admit I went a bit crazy, accused them of fraudulent activities, and threatened to involve the police, Lithuanian authorities etc, and I received an apology from them, then emails asking if everything was okay. But I never understood why they had to 'freeze' the account.

they got scared lol

Split a discussion about crypto into a different thread to keep this one about verification even for low-value transactions.

This should be the joke of the century.

Together with wise closing my account because I did exactly what they told me to do.

But maybe they weren't expecting your source of funds to be 'Nukes R Us' in Tehran, 'Massacres-while-u-wait' in North Korea and 'Global Armageddon Inc' in Moscow?

It was a balance transfer from myself and they reviewed and approved all docs beforehand… you don’t need to be a non-friend of the US to trigger a monkey’s reaction.
Of course the other accounts, all non-kosher and supported by fake docs from start to end work like a charm.

typical questions from Lithuanian bank monkeys.

How can a human being think that one collects all those data from someone who sends 50 Eur for whatever reason?

What crypto-friendly banks do u suggest?

Zen.com, Blackcatcard

Zen.com, Blackcatcard

I also have a Blackcat card now. They are part of Papaya Ltd in Gzira, Malta and also issue Papaya and Gekkard cards. Despite my own Due Diligence investigations uncovering a Netflix horror movie, I decided to add Blackcart card to my collection. For personal reasons, I wanted a Maltese IBAN number. Never heard of Zen.com. Another with Russian connections?

Zen.com, Blackcatcard

I need to make SEPA or SWIFT transactions to my Kraken exchange, right now I am using a non crypto friendly payment processor so I have to send from the payment process to a crypto-friendly bank and then to a crypto exchange, however, I am struggling to find a crypto friendly bank.

I found "Narvi" Is it trustworthy?

Zen is Polish.

Narvi is fine.

Zen is Polish.

To be exact, Zen is registered in Lithuania – but it's founder (and CEO) Dawid Rozek is a Polish guy, quite clever IMO.

It's true Zen is a Lithuanian company and licensed there, but the company is essentially Polish (ownership, operations). If Zen were a person, they would be a Lithuanian resident with a Polish passport.

Agree at 100%

Anyone know is zen adult friendly? Also would be nice to know If they are associated with uab payrnet? Because of their license was revoked many emis cant deliver their debit cards.

 

[Forester]

Anyone know is zen adult friendly?

An interesting question. Honestly, they say nothing about it in their TOS – TBMK. But as far as I heard, they are not interested in the adult business.
Nevertheless, try to ask them directly . They are open to questions.

Also would be nice to know If they are associated with uab payrnet?

No, they are not (and never have been, TBMK).

Hello, obviously the amount is not the only thing, but I think it is a bit drastic, I have not made even 5 transactions in that account.

I also think that this is an intrusion into the privacy of the other person. In the end they own part of that data.

I would send them in invoice for your time spend on this dossier to provide all this info. 1hr 500$ .
they are also in contract with you!
