I'm fine to do this in person, but you are right, regular bank is at risk of having my data stolen. The only difference is I can't function without bank, I am able to function without Wise... that's probably what makes me thinking if it's OK to take the risk here.

Reading other commenters I think it should not be a big deal, maybe the itch I feel is part of my weirdness..



It depends on your circumstances and local laws too. In the US there are laws limiting your liability for fraudulent use of your funds, credit cards, etc. I don't keep money in wise for more than a few hours, and once it's in my real bank account, it's relatively safe. Not that I have much money to begin with lol.

And in my case, I need Wise to get paid. So the choice is between "slight risk of identity theft" and "not being able to pay rent".
