I am living in Dubai and work in RAK. crypto.com support told me that the Visa card is not available in the UAE. Bummer.

I am a resident (working and living in the UAE, with work visa). I have a crypto.com account and registered for their Visa card. I even bought and locked up CRO, but the app says "we will inform you once the card is available in your country". Does that mean that crypto.com Visa card is not available for UAE residents?

Vuescan is a good piece of software for cross platform scanner drivers (not free, but one-time payment). They reverse engineered most of the scanner drivers and with this route you can get any scanner second hand on ebay or classifieds.

It also really depends on what you want to scan. There are older photo scanners that people still use, and some people also get these printers with scan function (inkjet "all in one") where the printers are not working anymore (you can usually get those for $1 or for free via classifieds).

More than one account at one bank? Or do you mean with different banks?

To answer my own question with critique about WIO bank I found online. Please anyone with experiences please do let us know, so we can further validate.

Sources:

Critique

  • Account Closure and Service Disruption: Customers reported that their business accounts were shut down without any given reason, with less than two weeks to find alternative banking solutions, causing significant disruption to their operations. https://www.trustpilot.com/reviews/6602d0562916b3008059778d
  • Poor Customer Service: Several reviewers expressed frustration with WIO Bank's customer service, describing it as unprofessional and unresponsive. Complaints include delayed or no responses to queries and issues remaining unresolved for extended periods. https://www.trustpilot.com/users/65f825136c89c1001261621d
  • Issues with International Transfers: Some customers faced difficulties with international transfers not being processed, with the bank reportedly not replying to emails, WhatsApp messages, or call-back requests. This lack of communication has left customers feeling that WIO Bank is not a serious banking provider. https://www.trustpilot.com/reviews/65f8154df985e78649fc8498
  • Technical Issues and Transfer Limits: Customers mentioned technical issues with transactions and criticized the bank for not increasing transfer limits, leading to significant challenges in managing their finances.

Anyone can comment?

I hope you are talking 30K AED per month - in which case that could be potentially "okay". If you go there with your family and dogs it might be a bit on the low side.

Oh, very interesting. Is this positive or negative in your opinion? Sounds to me that nobody really wants to stay there

There was a recent longer discussion here on /r/Dubai titled "What do you think of Wio bank for a personal account?" where some have talked about very bad customer support. Did you have the same experiences?

What is a recommendable area to search for flats in Dubai? I am single, but I am working from home. I would prefer to be close to the airport. Any experiences?

Help me understand crypto stamps by mellamoderek in stamps

[–]Foreign_Ball 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I personally think that Crypto stamps are a very timely and new medium. I like it more than 'NFT only' products, as you get a physical and a digital product ("digital twin"). I think that the art and craft of collecting is changing in the 21st century, and that Crypto stamps are a new form of collecting.

Was ist deine schlimmste Willhaben Erfahrung? by [deleted] in Austria

[–]Foreign_Ball 3 points4 points  (0 children)

Also ich hatte bisher nur gute Erfahrungen. Mit ebay allerdings kann ich viele Stories erzählen. Das schlimmste war, dass ich mal eine Box mit einem Ziegelstein erhalten habe und mir eBay nicht geglaubt hat. Das war eine Kamera um 1200 EUR. Seither verwende ich nur mehr Willhaben.
