We need the person who recently sent a 1000 EUR donation via Wise to contact us via email with their full name so we can get Wise to unfreeze the payment. We regularly run into this issue with Wise but it's usually for small donations such as a 5 EUR one which got returned today.

Compliance filters punish both extremes: a 5 EUR donation isn't worth the review cost so it's auto-returned, while 1000 EUR triggers KYC friction the donor may never complete. Same financial infrastructure that "security"-banned your users on Revolut now filtering your funding. Does the pattern eventually escalate to account-level freezes, or does Wise treat each transaction in isolation?
The best way to help your favorite open Source projects are by sending private digital cash = Monero $XMR Why? Because you don't have to publish on open social to be able to access the funds. With Monero: - The donation arrives securely within half an hour without permission - No one knows you sent it - No one blocks it and asks for proof/permission - No record of it is kept publicly View quoted note โ†’

Donations nowadays need KYC. If you want people who donate for your project not to be doxxed or you want the funds not to be freezer or seized, use Bitcoin. View quoted note โ†’
