Just transferred some money (Aus -> UK) to my Sister to put toward my Dad’s birthday. I identified every bus, bicycle and traffic light in the American continent and received enough text messages for a Catholic confirmation with God. My own fault I suppose as I was logged into a VPN at the time. Security all seemed a bit haphazard and batshit crazy though if I'm honest.
I paid extra to cover the transfer fees then there was extra 20 quid fee added on just for the heck of it. The financial industry is a conglomeration of dodgy broken thieving middlemen is it not?

@botvolution and always has been…
@tregeagle Have you looked into using wise.com for such transfers? I've not used it but my wife does.
@macalba yes, that was Wise
@tregeagle More expensive than I was led to believe then.
