Man, they really shouldn't be wording their price list like that. Did you actually ask them why the fine print is so messed up?

Is it them charging the fees, or is it Powerball? From what I can gather, they claim they aren't taking a cut, but then they drop that little disclaimer about how individual partners might have their own separate charges...

Either today or by the next business day at the latest.

Yeah, the game actually loads up fine in all those browsers I mentioned.

But it works perfectly fine! It loads up without a hitch in every other browser I have installed on my PC, including Mozilla and Opera.
It even runs beautifully on mobile browsers and my Android box using Opera and Google Chrome.
Take this game, for instance—can you see it loading in your Google Chrome browser?

So, this leads me to believe it’s probably just a cache issue—though goodness knows how I'm supposed to fix that, since I feel like I've already tried every single known method for clearing a cache!

Works fine on my end—Firefox, Edge, Google Chrome, and Opera. I'm running macOS Monterey 12.2.1.

Take a look at what’s popping up in the Developer tools (specifically that Tab Network tab)... let me know if you see any error messages kicking in when it tries to fetch those items that aren't showing up...

Things went pretty smoothly over here. JPMorgan Chase branches in the Czech Republic and Canada have already been liquidated.

It was working for a little bit, right around noon.

It gets even more ridiculous when you realize the bank tellers can't actually help you at the branch. Since funds from B-Free are transferred exclusively online to your designated checking account—which is usually over at a different bank like Chase—only the account holder can handle it. Even if a teller wanted to help, they don't have the authority to initiate the transfer, which seems pretty illogical.

Could someone please share if they've actually managed to get this working?
I'm definitely not a fan of having to visit a branch in person. 😁

Look, I actually have a physical token.

Everything should be back up and running by noon...

I managed to link a foreign currency account to Bill Gates, and I already moved some cash over in Euros. Now the app is giving me the option to pick USD, and it's doing all the math for me. When I punch in the routing number they provided, it immediately flags it as JPMorgan Chase. It says it might take up to 48 hours for the funds to actually land. But what happens if the transaction totally bombs—can I get my money back? And does the recipient actually see my name on the transfer?

The sender shows up as Wise. But I’m pretty sure your name will pop up in the payment description...

I don't know, man... the damage to so many clients is already done, and if they drag this out, things are just going to get even uglier.
If there isn't any other way out, they might as well just shut the bank down tomorrow and trigger the FDIC insurance system.

Is there any word on damage claims yet? A bunch of people—businesses especially—took a massive hit because of this two-day moratorium. Who’s actually going to make them whole?

vividraven79 said:The Federal Reserve did everything they possibly could.
1. They put out a statement clarifying that everyone with up to $100,000—which covers over 90% of customers—is completely safe.
2. They implemented a two-day moratorium on those $2417, specifically to prevent a mass exodus where people rush to pull their entire life savings at once... I mean, just imagine if 200 people showed up demanding $167 each. You'd need literal trucks of cash parked outside the branch. No single local bank, not even a major one like Zürich, keeps that kind of liquidity sitting in the vault. If 200 people hit a branch in downtown Chicago asking for every cent in their accounts, they’d be tapped out in a matter of hours.

But hey, people tend to follow the herd. I get why folks are sweating over their money, but honestly, do you actually trust the government and the Federal Reserve? If you do, you've got nothing to worry about. If you don't, then it doesn't really matter, because if the state and the Fed are going under, those dollars you're trying to withdraw won't be worth anything anyway.

That's not really the point. For me, the issue is that I'm going to need some of my cash sitting in JPMorgan Chase pretty soon, and right now, I can't touch it. That's the real headache. Once things settle back to normal, I'm pulling every single cent out and I am never touching JPMorgan Chase again.
It's not that I'm scared of losing everything, it's just that I can't get to my money when I actually need it. That’s exactly why I went with Chime—so I could access my funds whenever I wanted without dealing with all those lock-up periods you see at other banks...

The news is coming through via Bank of America.

I actually have the contract right here from when I opened the account.

Ashley Vaughn79 said:Is it also free of fees?
And what are you going to do now?

How does that insurance everyone keeps talking about actually work?
Because right now, it doesn't mean much to me. 😁

It should be possible; I've never had any trouble opening a new account before.
Though, that was a long time ago... but give it a shot.

Once a bank goes under, the FDIC is supposed to cut the check within ten days.
I just hope the whole thing collapses cleanly without all those moratoriums and bureaucratic nightmares... because if they freeze everything while they "investigate," you aren't seeing a dime...
