What are credible alternatives to Wise?

Revolut has very questionable business practices like having candidates work for the company for free just for a chance at an interview and a sick CEO that demands people work on Sundays.

Also, Revolut has pulled off a super shady move this summer where they moved EU customers' US stock accounts to EU, and in the process, changed the insurance from "500k per account" to "500k overall for all customers" (meaning, a few dollars per customer).

Beyond unbelievable.

Yeah both Revolut and N26 are involved in a constant stream of complaints from people on social media, I guess this adds Wise to the group of shady fintech corps that probably shouldn't be trusted with anything.

I suppose that only leaves regional banks to fall back on, the devil you know.

I’ve had excellent experience with Revolut on business accounts. Responsive Customer service, Good app with great features, cheap payments to countries like Serbia. Unlike most banks they were happy with me living in Portugal but running a UK company.

One doesn’t preclude the order

Payoneer, Revolut, and Airwallex are probably the closest in feature set. Using Payoneer at the moment.

There are also currency exchange platforms like OFX and Currencies Direct and contractor management platforms like Remote.com and Lano.io, but it's hard to find something that does all-in-one (incoming payments, outgoing payments, virtual cards, batch payments).

I thought revolut used wise under the hood for Forex?

Most credible is a credit union for your banking, a broker for your stocks, a Nigerian Prince for your crypto money market "account".

I heard about N26 and Monese, but I don't know about their credibility.

Maybe revolut.com.
