Ever wonder why Koko Bank don’t offer us “foreigners” any service? It is because we only have overseas secondary documents! And they cannot verify our overseas drivers licenses and overseas health insurance cards… Because we don’t have Taiwanese ones apparently. Think it’s ridiculous? That’s the ex…

If you have some spare money please send it to me. I’ll take a free transfer to my HSBC account thanks :rofl:

So Richart/Taishin called me earlier this afternoon to confirm I’d received the JKO Coins and FamilyMart vouchers. I asked about what their plans are for making the current promotion more well known to other foreigners besides me and @slawa and for not excluding foreigners from future activities. T…

Called it! [image] Are administrative appeals against the FSC completely pointless? General Legal Matters Fun fact. Well, not fun, but appears to be a fact nonetheless (don’t bother reading the rest of this post expecting to find something interesting – you’ve been warned…

[image] Andrew: Will be interesting to see how they answer. I’m going to go out on a limb here and predict… more bullshit. Submit an appeal calling them out on this.
