QSC buy Wise Suspended ACH transfer

[Katielobo]

Did anybody else receive this from Wise today or yesterday!
I had two Black Friday buys with QSC and used Wise for ACH transfer. Both are pending and one is suspended saying "sanction review as it may potentially violate international sanctions laws." I am not sure what is going to happen. They asked for the following;

• If [redacted by forum moderator] is a business — send us their full registered name ,address ,valid website and if any invoice document held.

I’d ask the vendor how to respond.

Should really start using more modern methods of money/value transfer.

Ones without trusted third parties.

They don't have any business asking who you are transacting with and demanding such documents. It's your money, spend it the way you want.

It looks like the account QSC was using for their domestic source got flagged. When I tried to add them as a recipient, it wouldn’t even let me. I asked Tracy to give me another account and she gave me the account that I have sent to money before for their China source and that one worked fine.

several vendors got flagged (and blocked) by Wise.. QSC, SRY, and possibly some others as well.. I'd strongly recommend getting set up with stable coin (crypto)..

They don't have any business? I believe they're simply complying with US law.

Cite the law. Or I call BS

Cite the law. Or I call BS

The federal Anti–Money Laundering Act of 2020.

The federal Anti–Money Laundering Act of 2020.

Where does it say banks have unilateral authority to ask for..

"If [redacted] is a business — send us their full registered name ,address ,valid website and if any invoice document held."

Without having read through the Act, I'm reasonably confident that the quoted language is not present.

I am a lawyer. However, this is way outside my area of expertise. In my 30 years of a lawyer, I have not ever worked on any legal issue involving money laundering or financial controls intended to prevent money laundering. I'm not going to read through the entire Act trying to find the provision. And I may not even be correct. Perhaps Wise is acting out of the goodness of its heart. But you're welcome to read through the Act.

I sent my wire to qsc Monday night, processed and “delivered to recipients bank” Tuesday but I’ve heard nothing. I’m very interested to see what happens with it tomorrow. Qsc hasn’t confirmed they have it and wise hasn’t said it was rejected. I’m just in limbo. I kinda suspect I’m just out $300

Did they send you an address confirmation yet? That's usually all I get from them.

They didn’t send shit

I sent the wire confirmation and the wise tracking link and didn’t hear a thing back

I get confirmations when ordering through email. Never through WhatsApp. The WhatsApp rep is straight business. Good luck getting more than 2 messages out of them.

I emailed what’s his name several days ago, no reply. I probably won’t order from them again. The wise thing isn’t their fault but it could be justified to maybe, I dunno, confirm the ones that arrived? Special circumstances and all.

It isn’t enough money that I’m super concerned but would suck to be out

The supplier known for a lack of customer service, not providing customer service.

Haha, it sucks, but I dont expect any different. My order in October took forever due to wise/ach and that's when I finally switched to crypto. I use qsc alot, but have little expectations on the CS front. I expect 1. I order 2. It'll arrive eventually 3. It'll be cheap (i only order when they break price barriers)

I tried to use coinbase to send usdt but it was going to take a week to settle the funds. F coinbase

@Peevee They never do payment confirmation, so don't let that get you stressed. If Wise didnt complain about the wire then it's probably fine. Wait about 7 days from when Wise tells you the wire is done and ask qsc for the tracking, that will serve as confirmation. But this is a no news is good news situation.

when it comes to wire transfers, no one is never out of anything

It's either successful, then processed

or unsuccessful, then returned.

Wise has been a pain in the ass to many buyers, and not only for us, but other sellers, looks like they are getting more strict in regards of suspected transfers for illegal purchases, so expect more and more censorship in the future.

Our bank accounts receive money without any issues, either from the successful wise wires, or from the regular bank transfers not linked to wise.

But we all know that in future, only crypto is the way. Time for everyone to start learning it to avoid this complications.
