#FinTechFail

Is it 2026 or 2006? I just went to harden my PayPal account with my new review units.

Turns out, PayPal still only supports one physical security key. No backups allowed. If you want redundancy, they force you back to TOTP apps or (worse) SMS.

A screenshot of the PayPal "Manage 2-step verification" settings page. It shows 2 step verification is ON, with a "YubiKey 5C NFC" listed as the only primary device. Under the "Your backups" section, only a "Third-party code generator" authenticator app is listed, with no option to add additional backup security keys.

๐Ÿšจ WARNING: BlackCatCard is a nightmare for Gulf users
Iโ€™m from Saudi Arabia and they rejected my account over a tiny address detail (Street 41 vs 40).
I even submitted official proof from the Saudi Wasil system, and they still said NO.
Their support is slow, disrespectful, and clueless.
Feels like bias against Gulf users.

๐Ÿšซ Avoid @blackcatcard at all costs.
Their verification process is a complete nightmare โ€” they reject official Saudi documents, demand absurd proof, and treat clients like criminals.
A disgraceful and discriminatory company.

Cashed in about 60% of my balance from Unionbank of the Philippines (my bank) to my Gcash (an e-wallet) to pay a loan. The cash in failed. My bank account now has less money that does not reflect in my gcash. Now have to go chasing after that lost cash with their CSRs. FML ๐Ÿคฆโ€โ™‚๏ธ
