'You just had to cast the update."
@chubi_4_u added:
"Care to explain why it's important? (The 9,999)."
@plusone85 stressed:
'They notices that many of us rather trf 9,999 instead of 10k. Recipients understand."
@shedrach_nyaba noted:
"This is solid."
@Pot_holes01 said:
'Opay really cares about us."
@ezekielndaka noted:
"And before, when we told customers to send in 9,999. They'll go ahead to send in 10k since the stamp duty wasn't charged from them. I want to see my 10k the way it used to be, no stories please."
@horspiroll_ shared:
"Lots of people are doing this even before the tax thing. Since the stamp duty on 10k started many years ago, some of us send 9999 instead of 10k. I don't have problem sending you 10k but you have to be missing something if you prefer receiving 10k from me rather than 9999."
