Was seamless. Now it's a bit more difficult. Since removing the bank account payment method you're only left with credit or debit card or email option. Not all banks have the email facility available so it's left to the former two. If you don't have the right limits it can catch you out. Would be better if the bank account option was still there.

Extremely bad experience with customer service that doesn't know anything. Edit: Well, you haven't done anything to resolve the issue. You should add more verification methods like Photo ID, not everybody has a driver's license. Also, every other app works using the passport but yours doesn't. Edit 2: Now this might surprise you but not everybody living in Australia has an Australian passport. Why not Photo ID?

I tried thrice at 29.01.26 at 10.19Pm but got a message that we couldn't able to complete the transaction and sorry for that etc etc, so it is not reliable at times in case of emergency, and always good to have a second option as per my personal experience. Feel free to ask questions and I've got all the proofs to support my claims.
