The biggest perk of digital banks—though you could argue it's also their biggest flaw depending on how you look at it—is that they don't have physical branches.

Has anyone actually managed to link a Chime or an Apple Card to their PayPal account yet?

Both of these are DVI-D ports. You won't find any passive DVI-D to VGA converters or cables out there—those have to be active, which means they're pricey. There are passive DVI-A to VGA options, but you don't have those ports here. What should actually work for you are the cheap, passive DVI-D to HDMI converters or cables.

If you're running 2FA, you really ought to generate an app password for those sketchy apps.

You got 2FA turned on?

Nah, you gotta hit up a local branch. It'll run you $3.25 (unless you're setting up a new checking account at JPMorgan Chase, then it's free).

And even then, you can't just assume every tablet with a SIM slot is actually going to support voice services.

So, they finally updated the Coinbase wallet to let you link bank accounts directly for payments. You can now hook up accounts from JPMorgan Chase, Bank of America, or Wells Fargo...

Using Revolut is free, but I’ve got no clue what Turkish banks are charging for incoming international SWIFT transfers from the United Kingdom.
Wise handles local payouts in Turkey through one of their partner banks there—so my guess is the receiving bank won't hit you with any incoming transfer fees—but on the Wise side, you're looking at $5.75 a flat fee plus 0.92% of the total if you're paying via bank transfer.

You missed the most important part, though... which country are you actually sending the money to?

Works fine for me. I'm getting logged in without any issues.

It’ll probably just get baked right into the existing mobile apps and online banking portals. You'll likely see an option for "express" or "priority" processing when you're setting up the transfer...

Just a heads up, this fee reduction on international transfers only applies to US dollars. If you're trying to send money in any other currency, expect to get hit with some seriously steep fees.

I honestly don't think you can even pull off cash transfers for foreign currency anymore.

Don't tell me you're flying without a card?
If you are, just open a free checking account somewhere—like a basic one at Chase—or grab a prepaid card. It's not rocket science...

It’s up and running.

Anyone else finding that Reddit isn't loading on the Reddit App this morning?

From what I've seen, checking your balance with foreign cards usually just hits a wall at our local ATMs.

What do you mean by "connect"? Chime doesn't exactly link up with your existing accounts like that. What you actually get is a single GBP IBAN where you can receive just about any currency via SWIFT, plus you get EUR through ACH, and even a dedicated GBP account for local transfers. To top it all off, you can load money into Chime using credit or debit cards in any currency... though if they're issued within the EU and aren't business cards, Chime won't hit you with fees—but lately, some of the banks on the other end have started charging their own bites for topping up with credit cards.
