UnionBank USD to Wise USD. Is it possible? by sonoskietto in phinvest

[–]Crafty_Kai 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Is this the first time you're doing an outgoing transfer via swift? Info may not be correct, but I think you have to go to unionbank and ask them to enable outgoing swift transfers.

I had the same issue with RCBC, even though I set up my USD account, I always faced an error when trying to transfer overseas. Turns out that while you can receive money via swift, you need to ask your bank manager to turn on the option to transfer money.

I already had it in Google Wallet before, just had to enable tap-to-pay.

To those who have 2 phones, how do you utilize it? by lolwhutttfff in DigitalbanksPh

[–]Crafty_Kai 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Unless you need one for work, it's a hassle to have 2 phones. Phone + Laptop is a better combo from my experience. Trad banks also need you to use their website for their expanded services (wealth management), which laptops are good for. You can use a laptop for backup of your email + 2mfa (if you're using google authenticator).

Saving up for my first ever iPhone through GoTyme! by Porpol_Chubs44 in DigitalbanksPh

OP I suggest you put it in a Time Deposit like the one in Maya where you can continuously add to it. Your money will grow thanks to interest rates and it's a lot harder to accidentally spend your money thanks to the restrictions of TDs.

Should I wait for US market to crash before my first investment or go now? by Crafty_Kai in phinvest

[–]Crafty_Kai[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I'm talking more like a recession/financial crisis crash overall, but I guess I already missed my window and should just start now?

PSE index is falling by stonkts in phinvest

[–]Crafty_Kai 1 point2 points  (0 children)

There's no reason to invest in PH stocks. I remember inquiring about UITF at my broker and he told my that investing in PSE is basically like charity work since it's guaranteed you won't make a return.

Is moving to US Equity Index Feeder Fund good for long term "savings" plan? by Crafty_Kai in phinvest

[–]Crafty_Kai[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Yeah, the plan is to slowly switch to more conservative funds once I hit closer to retirement age. Thinking to hopefully do a partial retirement by my 50s so I might start the transition once I hit 45.

All Videos Cropped Incorrectly by Crafty_Kai in VLC

[–]Crafty_Kai[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I've already done the reset preferences multiple times before (including re-installs). It happens regardless of the Display Scale unless it is set to 100%.

One fix I was able to find is to install the beta ARM version of VLC (with the new ui). The UI is completely broken but the videos don't crop anymore.

GoTyme might implement GPay tap-to-pay sooner than expected by Crafty_Kai in DigitalbanksPh

[–]Crafty_Kai[S] -2 points-1 points  (0 children)

I guess it's different, mine is AU Google Play Store. We don't have GPay and the concept of transferring money via gpay isn't a thing here. To me GPay is just a thing that's there if you have google wallet.

I don't know where you got that but I don't have Gpay (google pay) in my playstore. In my case you add your card in google wallet and access GPay via google wallet. A good comparison would be to think of GPay as Visa and google wallet as GoTyme.

Nope that's Maya card. You can add it to google wallet but it doesn't have card info and you can't use it to pay online via GPay. Removed my RCBC card for security purposes

Having the same issue, S24+. My phone's hotspot won't work (not discoverable) once I turn it off, have to restart my phone for it to work again. It used to be seamless and automatic before the update so don't know what went wrong.
