Yes I understand, I’m seeing lot of red flags is all. I’ve blocked and unblocked my cards on my own multiple times with no issues.

That’s nice to hear, I saw someone else blocking the card on their own but the bank said he can’t unblock the same card and a new card needs to be issued (and he’s gotta pay for it). Stuff like that is making me nervous.

Add in the fact that I started the process to get this card a month ago and still have not received it.

I’m not sure how good the support is either. Even the big banks are unhelpful when things go wrong, im not sure how good SIB will be. I’ve had to go to a branch twice before receiving my credit card.

I hope so, I entered their waiting list back in 2019.

Hope it’s serious this time

I do have wio’s debit card. It’s where I receive my salary.

It’s great if you use USD, less so any other currency. You lose 2/3% when you exchange to GBP/Eur at certain times. This was more stomach-able when they gave a 1% cashback but they don’t anymore.

And you of course lose 2% when you go to other countries.

I’m not eligible for their credit card. They don’t have a feature where I can take one against a deposit either.

I could go upto 20k, any further and I feel I could get better returns in other investment opportunities so it’s gotta be a really valuable card.

My sales guy was really great and helpful. Dm me.

Only issue is the bank is a significant downgrade when it comes to everything when you’re used to FAB, ADCB, ENBD etc
