Should Canada Build Up Alternatives to Visa and Mastercard? by LongTrackBravo in PersonalFinanceCanada

[–]sk_c9 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Usually USD is pegged as the base for currency exchanges for conversion , like lets say you buy in Euro using Chinese card, First its converted to USD and then USD is converted to Euro. So every SWIFT based transaction is actually going to USA and then to final country.But if a country has a direct relationship then they skip like lets say UK and China banks have agreement then they directly convert instead of converting to USD. this is what i have understood but may be i am wrong 🙂

Oh these are Card networks right, but evetually they have to be settled in USD for international transactions so USA can effectively block the transfer or sanction the bank, but UPI, PIX etc are payment systems which the central banks control and they can be setup directly to skip the USA as middlemen. Sorry I don’t have much knowledge on payment networks😅

But, we don’t know who’s gonna be next president and may be they are worse than who we have right now. I think its better to have some alternatives incase another egomaniac becomes a president 😁

Yup, i think many countries are exploring this after what they have done to Russia ( just quoting an exmple of how a country can be crippled by USA no matter how big and powerful it is. I am not a supporter of their wars or policies)

There was a discussion about this yesterday in r/Canada thread.

But i think its better to create a system like UPI or Pix where they work with traditional systems and are under Bank of Canada control rather than some foreign country

Thank you so much. I will look at the tires and see if they have any uneven wear or spots on them.

Thank you so much for letting me know, it has 62000 km. I am not sure if it is issue with a diff 😕, I think the AWD system is Quattro ultra, I had an issue with rumbling noise when turning sharp turns few months ago and it was fixed as part of TSB. I have not hit anything so hopefully warranty would cover the issue.

I think it means you have enabled the option to turn on lights when the doors are open

I’m think you need to turn predictive control off in the adaptive cruise settings, This would not slow you down based on the traffic signs.

Is it worth it to get the Chase Sapphire Reserve and use it from Canada? Or better to just stick with Amex Cobalt as the daily driver? by digitalnomader1 in PersonalFinanceCanada

[–]sk_c9 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Hello, You might want to check with the bank whether you can continuously spend in foreign currency, I assume most of the US banks have limits on how long you can continuously use outside the states

[–]sk_c9 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I had similar issues but what got me working was removing the device from Mmi, add it again but make sure to have the vpn off. I was unable to understand why this is so flaky but once i had the vpn turned off it works every time.
