> No. I have missed that. I just can't wrap my head around how a bank would match a reason for payments to Bisq with a regex like: It can contain numerals, or letters and can be separated by dashes or dots or spaces at any position. This must also match every reason for payments ever stated.

With TransferWise all payments where TW-TW.

TransferWise were aware of people using Bisq for payments either though it's promotion on Twitter or other social media, or a user contacting support for help with a payment for Bitcoin!

How to make a payment is documented here for all to see: https://bisq.wiki/TransferWise

TW-TW payments are not promoted heavily by TransferWise, therefore, it would not be hard for them to run a list of all payments made in a given period using this method and look for payment reference than would be indicative of Bisq Trade ID numbers.

TransferWise have no obligation to provide services to anyone, therefore, if they feel they are using their TransferWise account to trade BTC it is easy for them to warn or ban them. This is what happened. Over a couple of days at least a dozen Bisq users when warned or banned.

I also suspect Revolut has banned people based on a review of their accounts due to the Trade IDs.
