I have registered for ifast, wise and kraken through the withdrawal tutorials before. Today I tested them and they seem to work very well and are very safe.
If you need to open an account, the link is below, and you will get a reward if you use the invitation code
1. Initially 2000 USDT was exchanged from Binance to 1999 USDC (loss of 1U)
2. 1999 USDC is transferred to Kraken through the Solana network, and the actual amount received is 1997U (there is a small amount of 30U for testing, and 1U is lost)
3. Exchange 1997U for 1517.27 pounds in the Kraken (the current exchange rate of USD to GBP in Kraken is 0.7613)
The Kraken Pro is available at a more favorable price
4. Transfer from Kraken to £1517 to ifast and the actual amount received is £1515.05 (handling fee is about £2)
5. The actual test shows that ifast transfers money to wise through fps with zero wear and tear, and the money arrives in about ten minutes
6. This test was successfully completed. No proof of funds is required for Wise to Alipay. The account is credited within seconds, minus the handling fee of 14.28 pounds. A comparison of Wise fees is also attached.
Look at my shared withdrawal path. All bank accounts can be opened remotely. You only need a passport.

Let's briefly talk about how to deposit money after opening an account. It is also very simple. There are 7 ways.
Here I will simply show you a screenshot of the commonly used bank transfer method, as shown by the red arrow in the figure below.
I chose to deposit the currency into my Hong Kong bank account to activate it.
A payment and receiving bank information is generated.
We can just transfer the funds into our own bank as required.
2. Repatriation of funds
2.1 Bank settlement: wire transfer of foreign currency from overseas banks
Return to your foreign currency account in a domestic bank and settle the exchange when necessary, using the annual 50,000 USD convenient purchase and settlement quota;
2.2 Panda Express, WISE, We Remit, Koala Express and dozens of other platforms are all OK. Each platform has its own quota, but they are relatively independent and non-shared, so the total quota is large enough (the supervision of funds returning to China is not as strict as that of funds going abroad, so there are many companies doing it, and Panda seems to be the only one that is big abroad). Through these platforms, the probability of being asked to show proof of funds when transferring back to a mainland bank card to convert it into RMB is extremely small.
