There’s a saying about Fiat cars being unreliable, that brand stands for “fix it again tomorrow”. You can apply the same saying to fiat currency.

Yesterday felt like a buy the dip kinda day. Tried an exchange deposit since Bisq’s order book was quite thin. What a disaster: • Starling Bank: Remembered that exchange deposits are blocked • Wise: Found out that exchange deposits blocked • Revolut: Transaction frozen, fraud quiz, then a 3-hour hold • Monzo: Transaction frozen, passed around support agents with no ETA, account frozen. 4 banks, only one deposit went through after hours of hassle (ongoing with Monzo) Are there any UK banks that just trust you to send and receive transfers?
