This is not the first time that Deutsche Bank has made a mistake.
Apple: Impressed?
Developer: Don’t dare to move! Do not dare to move!
Hileel, the indie developer of the Capture App, received an Apple refund email this afternoon and sighed in the circle of friends with this “empty joy”.
It was learned that many independent developers in the past two days have received Apple’s wrong remittance of RMB as US dollars. For example, Hileel’s July settlement was RMB 6,000, and it received US$6,000, and its income suddenly increased by 7 times. Many developers lament the direct completion of the annual KPI.
But after the company’s fermentation, Apple sent a recovery email to the developer on September 5th, as well as the corrected bill. In the recovery email, Apple said that the reason for the mistake was that the partner Deutsche Bank, Deutsche Bank issued two sets of remittances, one of which is wrong, the bank will contact the developer to return the money.
This is not the largest bank in Germany – Deutsche Bank made the wrong currency unit for the first time. In 2018, Deutsche Bank transferred 28 billion euros ($33 billion) instead of 28 billion yen ($257 million) to its account on the European Futures Exchange (Eurex). In addition, in 2015, it moved $6 billion to a hedge fund client’s escrow account; in 2014, it switched to Macquarie Bank for 21 billion euros ($24.62 billion).
The Weibo user @waylybaye, which broke out for the first time on September 4 this year, also continued to follow Apple’s handling, saying that the foreign exchange status has changed to “transfer counters – which have been transferred to the bank.”
When some developers go to the bank to account, the bank has notified that it cannot be credited. For developers who have already entered the account, someone has received a refund call from the bank, and has already gone to the bank counter to complete the formalities, and some have been notified to contact the bank.
In the refundAbove, developers generally cooperate. “It must be retired, and the APP is in operation,” Hileel said.
Even if the developers are happy, the majority still think Apple is more developer-friendly.
In the industry, Roskey said that in the purchase and payment of products, Apple and developers are divided into three, after deducting the channel payment and tax, the average developer finally gets about 60%. The domestic platform – mainly for the Android platform, takes five or five points, after deducting various fees, developers can only get 40%. Moreover, in the realization of advertising, Apple is more generous, Apple as a channel does not participate in the division, and allows developers to access the non-official advertising SDK to cash out.
Although the seven-fold exchange rate in front of the pie can’t be eaten, but relying on the big tree of apples, developers don’t have the benefits of long-term flow.
