Recently, I tried out all the cross-border payment tools available on the market, and I really ran into a lot of pitfalls. The ads look quite appealing, but in practice, using them is really exhausting: hidden high fees, slow transfers that crawl like snails, triggering risk controls at any moment, a bunch of invisible restrictions, making people frustrated. After all the back and forth, only one or two of them are reliable enough for me to use consistently.
