Hi!
Is there a reason why one can’t create a Transferwise account in Bisq using the phone number in place of email? Transferwise’s “Send money to friends” heavily rely on phone contacts synced to the app. Why Bisq doesn’t allow to use the phone as, e.g. with Zelle payment method?
As per the original issue on github: https://github.com/bisq-network/proposals/issues/243 it seems mandatory fields are:
Name
Email
Reference ID
IBAN
Read through it to see whether there’s a reason. Perhaps you can open an issue on github if you believe phone number should be accpeted

The only mandatory field for adding the Transferwise payment method to Bisq now is email. I wish it were phone/email instead.

re:features
Transferwise was often used in Bisq but it also often caused disputes as the IBA… N could not be verified by the receiver. They use their bank(s) an use a reference ID to assign the payment to the users.
They offer lots of currencies (I will post screenshots of their currency list), so users could trade cross currency similar as it was the case with OkPay.
I gues that could boost trade volume as markets are not limited to the currencies anymore and it is a very modern and convenient payment provider.
Mandatory fields (for EUR, other currencies need to be tested):
- Name
- Email
- Reference ID
- IBAN
They offer payment by credit card, which carries chargeback risk (risk of cashing out stolen creditcards).

Only email is needed.
Phone numbers are not an option as they do not currently work on the web version (only App version) of Transferwise.
This can be revisited if this changes
