Giving Wise a try (PayPal alternative)
9 months ago
Hi everybody! How's it been? ð
Out of every possible virtual wallet services out there I've never found a PayPal alternative that actually has full support in Brazil, otherwise I would have made one long ago just to be on the safe side. Apparently tho, out of the newer options in the market Revolut and Wise are two names that frequently pops up on that matter. I'm still doing my research on the first one, but [after an odyssey of selfies and document photos from my phone ^^; ] I've just made a Wise account for me, convinced they'd fit my local bank transfering needs since they're advertising on Brazilian YouTube IP adresses, and in fact they allowed me to register one of my local bank accounts.
The main reason I'm looking for alternative virtual wallet services, gotta tell, is because some friends who wanted to commission me not too long ago are not using or not allowed to use PayPal anymore, so for any future cases like these Wise may come in handy (maybe Revolut too after I get enough info about it), although I still haven't concluded any transaction on it so far, so anyone who booked a commission here who uses Wise and want to make an initial experiment, or even, anyone who's not currently waiting for one but uses Wise and is up to try it, feel free to send me a message so we can discuss details and give it a try. ð
Oh and yeah... tho it started as a wee joke, I would indeed reserve a couple of slots for Steam or eShop gift cards but they're region blocked in Brazil.ð
Well, take care you guys! See ya! ðĪ

I reccomend wise if you want larger money transactions to lose less value in the currency exchange.
Hopefully it works between EU and SA too.
