I'm calling them out on that. Looking at their past tweets, it looks a lot like they're buying followers, retweets and likes; some tweets will have 1 RT and 1 like while the next one has 1.8K RTs and 1.6K likes, and then the one after that will have 1.5 RT and then 8 likes. Unless their fan base is incredibly different in behavior, there's something wrong with their Twitter.

As a rule of thumb (there are exceptions), I steer clear of companies that fake their social media accounts. Note: I'm not saying that WB21 is a company that should be avoided.

It is the matter of integrity. If WB21 is offering financial related services, integrity is a must. But their social media following looks dubious and it raises doubts. I won't trust my money on organisations that have integrity issues.

They verified my acct in 2 mins, way too fast I guess. I do not think it is a blatant scam, they have some decent VC funding. But I do not believe in their numbers.

We can`t know, but for sure its true you need 2-3min to open account, also most ppl use that bank for small transactions because fee is only % based... min transaction is 8 euro

I sand them email to add 2 way authentication, because I don`t see any mean of protection, from e-bank you can sand wire transfer to anyone, you only can set up alerts if you balance drop on sms/email

it makes no sense, they fake at least something
200k+ twitter followers are for sure fake as well

Looks like they are quite new, its more as internet bank then conventional, they target countries with inflation and with a easy way to open a account there

some interesting view they have on bitcoin and how ppl should use their bank for buying/selling bitcoin, etc

I opened account online process is fast, basic info, prof of identity and address as any other exchange, strange verification process took about 2-3min top

Only "problem is" debit card: Debit Card issuing is currently disabled, Please contact [email protected] for further details.
Also under receive payments there is wire transfer and BTC tab, under deposit it say fee is 1% duno if that bitpay fee included or not

So far their e-banking is simple and basic, so far no extra security for login Sad

also in my address I entered street name xx/yy and in system its street name xxyy with no dash (Ok my address can be manually edited so sorted the / can not be used so I used "space")

Still no extra security for login is very strange from my point of view

it is good project , I watched a lot of articles taking about this new bank today on newsbtc and other news sites , but for now I don't know who is behind this bank , and I also want to know if there are specific countries to work in or it is world wide , because I see that you can withdraw your money in many currencies like CNY and RUB .

I don't get a point to use ID and residential info to use BitCoin.

1st important think about BitCoin is ANON!

You can pay/use BTC without any personal info... this is the point of bitcoin... for me this change nothing cuz Bank will know everything what did You done with BTC...
