Oh... that's strange. The payout doc (stripe.com/docs/payouts#suppo…) seem to indicate that it is possible to transfer proceeds to any bank that's a in country where Stripe operate (see attachment).
The reason i'm asking is because the same doc says:
Supported bank account types
A standard bank account with a financial institution must be provided (e.g., checking). Other types of bank accounts (e.g., savings) or those with a virtual bank account provider (e.g., e-wallet or cross-border services) are not supported.
I'm wondering which category Revolut falls into ...🤔
You can transfer to any of those countries, but in most cases you can only receive in the relevant currency of that country. EG Switzerland can receive CHF, UK can receive EUR and GBP etc.
So to choose USD you have to choose 'United States' as the country - there's no option for Denmark where Revolut bank. Which means you need a US account number not IBAN, which fortunately Transferwise provide - here's a screenshot of the screen on stripe
Thanks for sharing Jonny 🙌 Seems to be a solid alternative to old banks!
Have you tried withdrawing Stripe funds toward your Revolut Business account?
Unfortunately that doesn't work, as Stripe will only pay USD to a US account for some reason.
Instead I set up a Transferwise Borderless account which has no monthly fee but a small (0.5%?) fee when you convert currencies. This is based in the US and has the ACH number and routing codes you need for Stripe. It works well for receiving funds but feels less like a complete bank alternative.
One issue I've noticed with both is that while I now have the freedom to choose when to exchange from USD<>GBP and potentially could benefit from better exchange rates, it means I get distracted by exchange rates and Brexit news trying to time my transfers for a better rate. This sometimes messes with my productivity, as I tend to hoard usd until I need GBP and then get anxious about whether I should change now or later...

Although meditation, working-out (or taking drugs for that matter) are great ways to appease your inner monologue, they are only temporary solutions. I think it's worth learning how to "debug" yourself. By "debug", i mean observe your train of thoughts and try to understand what makes you scared or worried.
Imagining that you're listening and giving advice to a friend can help ask the right questions.
In my experience most anxiety comes from imaginary rules/limits that we force onto ourselves... if that's the case, you can ask: where is this rule or limit coming from? is this something truly helpful or something that has been decided for me by society? would your life be better without?
Also, obsessing over the past or the future is generally source of a lot a bad feelings. Young children don't know anxiety because they aren't thinking about either... Sometimes, making sure you're enjoying what you're doing right now and/or doing your best with the current parameters can help staying on the "path of least regrets"...
Although we all seek to avoid them, "bad" times are a necessary anchor point to appreciate "good" times. But with the tools above, you should be change your perception and feel better :)
Hope that helps.
