A closer look at Wise and Revolut's key features, and where they excel
No, you do not need a UK phone number or address with Revolut as long as you don't need an actual debit card (virtual cards are offered). I opened my account with a Thai number and just a post code of a place I haven't lived in for 47 years.

If you don't need an actual debit card (as opposed to a virtual card) Revolut does not ask for a specific address, just a post code (although that produces a number of addresses of which they ask you to tick one) no other address confirmation is required and completion of the account registration is instant. The one I used could have been any random post code.

Yes, they do but if you're British they'll ask for a post code (and no other address details unless you want a physical card) before approving your account. I provided one that I have had no connection with since 1977 and was instantly approved with a virtual card.

Wise does not have a full banking licence in Austrlalia, it has an Authorised Deposit-taking Institution licence.

It does not have a banking licence in every country because it is not a bank.

Not for a virtual card, though.

I opened a new Revolut account a couple of weeks ago from Thailand. The app asks for a Thai phone number and some personal details including nationality. It then requested a UK post code, I haven't had a UK address for 30 years but input the post code for address at which I lived back in '77, it accepted that with no other details requested and confirmed my new account.

Nowhere have I defended his actions.

It was reported in the original article when this palaver started.

Swiss Expat Charged with Bodily and Mind Harm in Phuket Kicking Incident
Eh??? He listed previous history that had nothing to do with the Thai ladies whatsoever Granted, he seems to be a prick but he did reference previous history that he and his wife thought did have something to do with, what turned out to be, the Thai women.

Swiss Expat Charged with Bodily and Mind Harm in Phuket Kicking Incident
That video shows only his shadow and then something that could be his going arse over tit and telling them to "Get the fck off, get the fck off!" here, it doesn't clarify anything about a kick, if that was your intention.

Swiss Expat Charged with Bodily and Mind Harm in Phuket Kicking Incident
Yes, he has referenced some previous history that led to this incident. What's with the pathetic "fat Swiss loser" nonsense when he doesn't appear to be either?
-
Swiss Expat Charged with Bodily and Mind Harm in Phuket Kicking Incident
No, he doesn't, he only makes himself look bad, his actions have no effects, whatsoever, on how Thais look at me.

You really think that a business visa and work permit is required to invest in a business?
