Re: Paying with Lebanese cards online

In case I opened a fresh dollar account, can I send up to 1000$ ? Is there any new fees when paying with it ?
I heard that high fees are applied.
Any specific bank ?

Do you want to send 1000 USD to your university?
Do you have their Australian bank account information?

Maybe I can help you with that.

Re: Paying with Lebanese cards online

I want to send 1000 AUD to university in Australia
I have their bank account information
But the fees are so high. They provide me with an option to pay on Western union global pay, which I need a debit card.
So if I opened a fresh dollar account can I pay on WU ? Any hidden fees from Lebanese banks ?

Any other solution?

Maybe I can help you with that.

Sure but how ?

Just make a blom mini and put in fresh dollars and wait for whatever part you are looking for.  If your current card is a mini with 'fresh' dollars, you should be able to get the dollars back at an atm, although I not totally sure of that.  In any case, good look getting what you want.

Re: Paying with Lebanese cards online

hey guys!
I want to ask if anyone tried his lebanese card assuming it has international limit at Newegg and BestBuy.
Would it work?

Re: Paying with Lebanese cards online

As far as I know, all cards have 0 international usage now except for local sites who accept LBP. Only fresh money cards have no restrictions (except for stuff like crypto)

Re: Paying with Lebanese cards online

yes i was referring to fresh cards...
I don't wanna load it, end up not being accepted by newegg or amazon or bestbuy and then have my money hostage in our lovely, caring banks.

Re: Paying with Lebanese cards online

if it's fresh money you can withdraw it, it's not gonna be held hostage.

Lebanese cards work with amazon. No idea about newegg.com, but newegg.ca doesn't work with lebanese cards

From what i know you just fill a form at any omt office and after first approval you go to a blom bank location to sign a kyc form(Know Your Customer) and after a total of 5 days you get the visa card

Seems like Omt is trying to screw people.
Just get the blom mini plus.
Its 5$ cheaper, and  free topup, free withdraw.
the limits are smaller i believe, double check.

Re: Paying with Lebanese cards online

i guess, not sure.
I did  few years ago, i cashed out a few dollars from ads.
But that was a long time ago.
i'm not even sure if the bank knows if you can, they just know the 'usual' stuff, as usual

Why don't they make it 1 USD per month while they're at it so you can just say you have a card but you cannot use it ?
Situation is unbelievable, banks are unbelievable.

Audi Embark card price has been increased from 20$/year to a whopping 50$/year.

I'm paying 50$/year in order to be able to buy 25$/month...
