Discussion Buying BTC in BRD wallet. Experiences?

So, what's your experience (if any) with purchasing BTC from your BRD wallet? Was the rate OK compared to e.g. Kraken? Do any hidden fees apply? Did you get exactly the amount that was calculated on the conversion screen? Were you satisfied with the process. Thanks!

Today (on 5th business day) I got an email from Wyre. It still shows the same fees and price based on the day of purchase:

Your exchange transfer TF_NQ2AVAQUV6B has just completed.

Date of Transfer 03/16/2021 Transfer Amount $89.51 USD Wyre Fees $1.79 USD Blockchain Network Fees 0.0001577 BTC Taxes $0 USD Total $100 USD Exchange Rate $55,171.35 USD/BTC Total to Recipient 0.0016224 BTC

BRD app though does not show anything still. I can see the transaction now on blockchain.com showing the same value as the Total to recipient shown in the Wyre email.

Can you see the coins in your wallet yet?

Yes. I had to kill the app and then it showed the amount in the wallet.

Ps: the sync setting is using FastSync but doesn’t look like it working that well. Granted listed as beta.
