I just tried using ace money for the first time and below is my review.

They asked me for way too many PII

They didn't give me an option to pay with card or send the money to an account.

They were providing a browser within the app for me to login to my bank via trustly ( or something).

At this point I japka and return to azimos 488 per pound

So sorry you had a bad experience with them. I had Lovely time with Ace. they were happy with just my passport.
2 days ago I transferred with moneyfex at 553. My Friend was very happy.

I have noticed that Ace rates are lowest around payday. they then rise to attain the highest rates 2 weeks later. I have ported to moneyfex for now.

huh? I m notquite sure I got the question right but I do all transfer by card. I imagine that would make it easy to dispute.

Saddening. I tried calling and sending emails too. I just hope this soon to expire passport doesn't affect my visa chances.

Nobody will be penalized for visa during this covid 19 so says the home office

Goodevening Everyone!

1. Please can anyone navigate me further on how to transit myself to Liverpool from Lagos?
Flights with Qatar airways from Lagos stops at either London(Heathrow) or Manchester and I don't know how to navigate my way to Liverpool University(got admitted for fall) if I alight at those airports.

2. What's the city life like?

3. Can I secure an apartment from here before leaving? Possibly i bedroom/studio appy.

4. Obviously EE or Lyca SIM would be preferable from what I gathered here but which is more cost efficient?

Thank you all.

As an aspiring student, I would not say I am disappointed..........

Part of your studies, would involve loads of research.......

You have enough tools to arrive at the answers........

From the navigation, you can gravitate perpendicularly and transiently transit to Heathrow or Manchester on your way to Liverpool.

This is the thread you need:

Manchester is closer to Liverpool, you can take a taxi £50 or a train ≈£10 or a bus ≈£5. All depends on your pocket and the amount of load you are carrying.

Liverpool is a great multicultural city. Roots bar(African food drink and club) a lot of African stores and a healthy amount of Nigerians.

Students of the universities usually stay in either University accommodation near the campus. Or in a shared flat In either Smithtown road or Kensington.

Don't rush to buy a sim at airport it's free.

Not all british citizens are allowed to pay home fees , you have to have lived here recently for 3 years not to talk of someone on tier 2....

TIer 2 dependant is very much an international student

Good morning everyone
This thread was set up. I believe to help others by giving a little bit about your first hand experience while living in the UK. Most times it’s better to hear things from the horse’s mouth than google.

I will ask my question again “Is there anyone who lives or has lived in Birmingham. What are the pros and cons and which are the nicest areas to live?
Many thanks.
