Not only remotely, physically too. If you (or a company) are not resident, banks won't open the account. WISE used to handle in/out ARS until the stringent currency and capital controls imposed by the current communist Government. Now you can only hold and/or buy ARS (at the government exchange...

No, as far as I know it's almost impossible for non-domiciled aliens to open an account in Argentina. I said "almost" cause I've heard there's a tiny workaround for those Argentines who permanently left the country but need to keep paying something locally in ARS (specially taxes over any asset...

Could you please let us know about your background (nationality, activity, expected turnover, etc) to help us understand a bit more on why you were rejected?

Does ING LU accept remote opening for non-EU residents? I actually couldn't find any product offer in their website aimed for residents outside BE LU FR and DE

How much is "some money"? 5K, 10K, 50K?

Correct, but in the USD account I read they add a short text before your name (something like: "TransferWise FBO John Doe")

In the frontpage it clearly says you have to be a EEA resident so I'm afraid this is not the suitable option for your needs

Well, I had accounts at LeoPay (EMI) and they did report them to my country's taxman under AEOI.

Yes, I've heard they offer that option/flexibility for EU/EEA residents (like most EU banks) but not for customers living outside Europe

Yes, it's almost just for trade. I used to have an account there until last year and they only allowed to have about 15% of your trading position in cash. If you had more, you were expected to invest or withdraw such excess within 2 weeks aprox.

Are you an existing customer of the bank? If so (an made/received at least a couple of wire transfers) you should know what I'm talking about by now. I've even heard comments/experiences like this from other account holders in Facebook, etc.

They are very stringent and fussy when it comes to international transfers (send or receive); even small amounts of a few thousands. Perhaps your best choice is TBC or Bank of Georgia

Very easy. The OP's counterpart in Australia went to an ATM and deposited the cash towards an Australian account (the one belonging to the TW partner there)

The post was deleted as soon as the alleged "Bank" started to advertise in the forum. Draw your own conclusions on what was the content of that thread..... (hint: nothing possitive for the new advertiser)

Their fees are not quite affordable and I don't think they open accounts to people/businesses not from Uruguay or its neighboring countries.

Which country are you from? Did you apply for a personal account or corporate one?

Is it mandatory to hire an introducer/attorney and use POA to remote open in the first 3 banks or can be done directly with the institution?

Serbia is outside SEPA area so despite its banks may support IBAN account format and Euro, the transfer from Germany must be made by SWIFT which is considerably more expensive than a SEPA payment.

Hello EM EM, Haven't you urged EPB to conduct a SWIFT transfer trace/tracking on the failed transfers and send you the results (hardcopy) proving that the receiving bank rejected the payment? If EPB tells the truth, you can demand explanations from your Canadian bank and if they are making up...
