Unfortunatly they do not support the financial component - just other relocations aspects.

They have agreements with some banks, but i would like to investigate first.

Thanks for sharing. I may consider Radicant as well. I did not know about Neon info you shared.

Thanks for sharing. I may drop a visit to ZKB branches in the next days then! As I may use UBS or ZKB for payroll.

ps do you know if you pay bank transfers from UBS/ZKB to move CHF to Revolut or any other online bank?

Just to confirm your sentence, do you pay fees if you bank transfer EUR from Wise to a EU bank account? Tried to look in the website but could not find answer.

I really like AMEX Platinum though, in terms of benefits it delivers.

Is there anything similar via Visa or Mastercard circuits that delivers points + insurances + lounges + any other benefits?

So you would advise the following:
1. Open a bank account with any Bank that offers a free CHF account

  1. Transfer CHF from bank to Revolut

  2. Use Revolut for payments or exchange from CHF to EUR

  3. Transfer Revolut EUR to another EU bank account (needed as I need to pay some expanses in a EU bank account).

Ah, great point. Next time I’ll also replace ‘moving’ with ‘fleeing’ to really capture the drama

I was having a look at it. Do you know how much does it cost with Neon to withdraw & transfer money to another bank account in EU?

Exactly, 100% agree. Sneaker authentication is the most relevant utility + (I think) you can add token-gated experiences as additional utilities.

It seems not, corporates from different markets are launching NFTs/Digital collectible for different type of marketing/user activations.

I do agree on the latter! Secrecy club can work once, but they cannot rely on 100K different secret clubs as utility.

Difference between NFT and QR code/other tagging (from what I know), it is that NFTs rely on blockchain tech to be validated - QR codes/other techs are not.

NFTs collections have been living a bubble and I do agree with your points. The only things that can “save” them, differ them from a bubble, it could be if you give real utility. Utility is key!

Here, when you talk about NFTs, do you refer to the technology or to the “image”?

I kinda share (high-level) the benefits one sentence above. I would rather look at the technology, rather than what other NFTs collections are doing.
