(If it is not clear, what is wrong, it is very difficult to point at some alternative...)

Oh, well. Really interesting. I guess, it should have been something concerning the source of funds, some old tax report or payslip or WTH ”“ and you did not comply because not having it already or not willing to share. Possible/understandable.
I'm from Egypt and i working as freelancer, the problem is individual freelancer in Egypt don't have tax number so I can't provide tax report and I've already provide dukascopy my source of funds. The customer service now are the worst. So i need bank like dukascopy issue iban under my name and accept funds from PolandForester said:

It means, you need a personal account (as Dukascopy do not onboard businesses, AFAIK) in a neobank that is not very inquisitive. I think it is an easier task than needing a company account. CIM Bank is a little bit inquisitive, AFAIK (but you definitely can try) and Wise even more - furthermore not being a neobank, just an EMI (personally I would not recommend).
Nevertheless, there is a remarkable number of neobanks now, as I see. The abovementioned list could help but many of neobanks limit their service to certain nationalities or countries of residence. If you can share your nationality and residence, it would be possible to narrow the list...

It means, you live in Egypt and have Egyptian passport, correct?
I have no intention to be inquisitive, I am just wondering (and seeking some solution): But you do pay some taxes (or not?). If yes, then I guess you must possess some proof that you paid some amount derived from your income to government/municipality etc.; that can, after some explanation, serve instead of “tax report“ with tax number etc. (it is, de facto, a tax report...)Memohass said:

Sorry, I overlooked / did not take to account this: Do you need to accept PLN (Polish zloty) or your partner in Poland can pay you in EUR (or USD)?Memohass said:

Wow. This is a remarkable problem, I am afraid. IMO you probably really need a bank, as far ”“ AFAIK ”“ really not many EMI's is able to accept this currency (even not every bank does). I remember that Intergiro works with PLN and maybe some Lithuanian EMI's too... Of course, Wise (perhaps) does, as well as Revolut but I would never recommend these for a business purpose (too many frozen accounts in the past)...

OP you situation is too complex for a NEOBANK, EMI you need a real bank, what is the reason for why you not simply open an account in your local bank ?
Alternative would be to visit some banks for instant in Malta, Romania, Georgia, Cyprus - find a professional in each country first, ask them to help you open an account. It's not going to be free, but usually you look at fees around 1000 euro

Unfortunately, you hit the point ”“ I have just checked, Intergiro does not onboard businesses from outside EEA. Sorry. 🙁
Well, if this is the only reason for not using a local bank... did you try to convince your Polish partner to pay you at EUR or USD? I know the situation in Poland to certain extent and frankly, I can hardly imagine a Polish company having business partners outside Poland and not having USD and/or EUR accounts...
If nothing changed (check the website 🙂 ) ”“ you are correct.boomy said:
Dukascopy is personal account only right, they don't want business accounts?

You are welcome.
Search the forum, there are some useful threads dedicated to this problem (https://www.offshorecorptalk.com/threads/alternatives-to-wise.34931/ as the example).
I bet that the reason for this request was a match during the database screening and you were asked for the evidence alternative to non-criminal record. In this crazy compliance-driven world it's a common thing.
