soalbundy Posted Wednesday at 02:43 AM Share Posted Wednesday at 02:43 AM Anyone having problems with wise today? I attempted to send money to somebody today but I was named as the recipient with the bank details of the other person so I gave up and tried sending money to myself but all I get is the revolving Euro sign, the QR code requirements (pay by Klarna) seem to have been by passed. I now get the info that payment was paused and nothing else is happening. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I didn't use my name as recipient, I gave the name and bank details of the other person (but same address), with her email address, when it came to press 'send' I noticed in the details that I was the recipient but the bank details were for the other person. I started a new transfer to myself but the procedure looked different, normally I would be directed to klarna bank and using my German bank info and a QR code then the revolving Euro sign would appear, this time, apart from asking for method of payment, I klicked on Klarna and up came the the revolving Euro sign without the intermediate steps.

foreverlomsak Posted Wednesday at 06:29 AM Share Posted Wednesday at 06:29 AM First time I used Wise I requested they access funds direct from my bank, this transaction fell over and locked both my Wise & Bank accounts for a few days. Since then I have always sent the money from my bank using the bank app. Then gone into Wise to forward it to Thailand, have never had an issue doing it this way. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I've had a disastrous day with a happy ending :- (A) 3x I tried with Klarna sofort pay, but it didn't work so I canceled them all, later I received an email from wise saying Klarna was having difficulties transferring to Thailand but wise was working on it. (B) I tried with my visa debit card, after giving in all the info I received a message about using an app concerning visa/mastercard security check, I tried but didn't know what I was doing....it failed (C) next I tried a direct transfer from my German account to a Belgian Wise account but my antivirus program refused to let me open my online banking account because 'it was infected with phishing' (D) I loaded a different antivirus program and uninstalled the old one. (E) I tried one last time with Klarna and it worked. (F) I tried online banking with my German account and I was able to open it, no problems. (G)Wise told me I would receive my money on the 27th and I drank a beer. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
