I'm so frustrated with the bank system, especially with the foreign exchange control.

I want to open a wise account, tried to make a 20 EUR wire transfer to verify my account. ICBC told me that the receiver address is a bank and thus my transfer is denied by the system and there is no way to get around.

Then I tried to open an OCBC account with my passport. For some unknown reason, they keep "failed to process my request" and ask me "try again later". Frankly speaking, I don't want to make an oversea call (from China to Singapore) to find out why, it's expensive.

F*ck it. I'm done with it.
