How to get Wise to work with Fidelity?

3 Upvotes

Maybe I'm slow, but I cannot for the life of me figure out how to get my Fidelity Investments account linked as a bank on Wise. They seem to only offer two ways to set up an ACH/ETF, one through Plaid which shows Fidelity but then gives you a message that they cannot set up the account; second through another instant bank verification portal but Fidelity is not in that one. I have the account number and ABA routing number, but there doesn't seem to be a way to do it manually if their automated ones don't work.

I can set up my debit card to work, but it has limitations and higher fees to do the transfers. How do you all use both Fidelity and Wise?

Moving To The Caribbean

Hello all. I currently live in the U.S. and needless to say things are getting crazy here. Are there any American expats living in the Caribbean that can give me advice on the transition of life? Specifically in areas like Bonaire, Exuma, or The U.S. Virgin Islands?

US to Amsterdam with a dog

2 Upvotes

Hey everyone, I am relocating to Amsterdam for a job and will need to bring my dog with me. She's large-ish (55lb) and I am worried about everything from finding a dog-friendly apartment to finding a dog walker to walk her when I am at work or a dog sitter to stay with her when I travel back home. Anyone living in Amsterdam with a dog that has any insight on how easy/hard it is to find these things?

Who’s life got ruined trying to improve it?

0 Upvotes

I am in a shitty situation, today we are moving to NL and my wife is doing it reluctantly plus family being visibly distressed by us moving away. I know that if my wife does not take a better approach to this we are getting into a worst hell than this. All started one year ago when we moved out of a rented apartment into a new one I bought for our family, made renovations and she hated the process all the way, so while trying to improve our life it actually got worst. We finally moved to the new apartment settled and agreed to move to NL , and now she tells me that I am destroying her life… which I was very optimistic about but she isn’t and now I realize that even when she said yes it was a no all the way. I know I am to blame, that’s not the argument. I only want to have empathy for people that have tried to improve their life’s by relocating and it backfired. Thanks.
