11. Common Mistake Buka Akun Wise

Mistake: VPN US/UK saat sign up. Issue: Fraud check trigger, account frozen. Fix: VPN OFF, location Indonesia normal.

Mistake 2: Foto KTP Buruk

Mistake: KTP blur / shadow / refleksi. Issue: KYC reject, re-upload. Fix: foto di tempat terang, KTP rata di permukaan datar, no shadow.

Mistake 3: Salah Input Tanggal Lahir

Mistake: typo tanggal lahir. Issue: Mismatch dengan KTP, reject. Fix: careful input, cross-check dengan KTP.

Mistake 4: Alamat Beda dengan KTP

Mistake: isi alamat domisili, bukan alamat KTP. Issue: KYC reject. Fix: isi sesuai KTP. Update address post-approval.

Mistake 5: Skip NPWP

Mistake: nggak input NPWP. Issue: limit transfer rendah ($50K/year). Fix: input NPWP (bukan mandatory tapi naikin limit ke $2 million/year).

Mistake 6: Salah Pilih Currency Base

Mistake: pilih USD base padahal lo Indonesia primary. Issue: convert fee nggak optimal. Fix: IDR base, add USD/EUR sebagai secondary.

Mistake 7: Nggad Save Bank Detail

Mistake: lupa screenshot Wise USD detail. Issue: harus re-search tiap mau kasih ke client. Fix: save ke password manager + cloud (Google Drive encrypted).

6. Add Multi-Currency Sekalian

Sekalian add USD + EUR + GBP saat awal. Nggak ada fee, jadi ngapain delay.
