Comment on Wise (formerly Transfer Wise) are asking me to send them photo of my ID

Comments

Yep. Wise are one of the more agressive banking providers with their KYC. Twice yearly is becoming normal for Wise. (7 year customer here too)

But its normal for banks to do this. One of my banks (our group has over 10 accounts on 4 continents) even sent a KYC renewal the day after my French residency permit expired. Had to upload and tdo the selfie thing with the new permit to get access to the account again.

I echo the other comments that you should use the official banking apps for doing your KYC/KYB process.
