Hi @blueweb . The main question here is if you sent this transfer as a SEPA payment or as a SWIFT/regular transfer. If you initiated it as a SEPA one, there's no reason why the Cyprus bank would use a correspondent bank (as if the recipient EUR account would be in a non-sepa country). I think...

I've been looking for them and it seems St. Vincent banks are not obliged to make them publicly available (only to the FSA who allegedly been closely monitoring them for the last 2 years). As we don't have them, neither you can claim the deposit are lost nor anyone can claim all the funds will...

Of course I know the bank's reputation has been under fire numerous times; please don't get me wrong, I'm not advocating or defending them. I just found exaggerated your comment about their imminent closure and loss of assets. Of course a licence revocation is something on the table for banks...

I don't work for them. I just wanted to revert to you on what I think was a bombastic comment regarding they were gone and the account balances lost. If that were to happen, the FSA said they had been taking actions in the last 2 years regarding the bank assets, so after an eventual liquidation...

If you read the superseding indictment, you will note that the bank itself is barely mentioned (of course it is as the organization 2 of the rogue executives worked at) but all the allegations are mostly against only that 2 executives (the indictment seems to point out that they acted on their...

Hi @footlocker Yes, I know they provide a direct IBAN but I as far as I'm aware, it's only meant to be used within SEPA area. That's why I raised the second question whether is possible to receive SWIFT transfers directly with that IBAN or if they use a shared account for that. I hope they...

Mistertango doesn't provide a direct IBAN to receive SWIFT transfers. Do they? If you receive from countries outside SEPA, They have to send the transfer in the name of mistertango and add a reference. Right? thanks

Hi @Milky Moon ! I noticed that you've given this suggestion about Monese in other posts too, and it's been sometime that I'm wondering if it isn't just like using darks when it comes to the associated risk if Monese ever request some additional document/measure to actually verify the user is...

LeuPay belongs to SataBank so their compliance policies are the same.

WB21 has terrible reviews in other forums. I wouldn't trust them very much. It seems like a ponzi-scheme where they take deposits but if you want your money back (outward transfer) they could take months until executing the transaction (probably until they collect enough funds from a new depositor)

Hi @Luks . Good to hear everything went well. Congrats!. One question, Can non-EU citizens now open an account at N26? I heard only people living in the EU can do so and since you said you are not from there, I got confused.

Isn't Mistertango an option for you?

@Luks wrote (and I've read that before) that when LeuPay terminates the relationship, they mandatory request (in order to send the account balance) you provide not only the details of an account in an EU bank but also with a stamped letter from it stating your details (name, address, account #...

Thanks @Fox7 . In ICARD website they mention the need of a mandatory reference code for every transfer so that's why I assumed they didn't provide a dedicated IBAN. Good to know they do if the account is verified. Is is a Bulgarian or Maltese IBAN? As for Primorska, if I remember well, their...

I'm not a user but as far as I've seen, all transactions under SWIFT are made with "UAB MISTERTANGO" as sender/beneficiary company (and of course their IBAN in a Lithuanian bank, Nordea i.e). For incoming payments the sender must add a 6 digits code in the reference line. I don't know if for...

Thanks for this update @Fox7 As far as I know, ICARD do not offer dedicated IBAN so you have to send the transfers to their own account and include a reference in the payment description. Am I correct? Are you OK with that system? (I thought you needed an account in your name) If the bank you...

Hi, according to their FAQs, you must be an European Economic Area (EEA) resident in order to open the account.

Hi, thanks for posting your progress on this issue. My comments are below: I doubt EMIs can provide a prompt and timely support. Most of them (if not all) are small startups and I've read that their are totally overwhelmed with thousands of new sign ups which highly exceed their response...

Hi @Milky Moon SatchelPay has sky-high fees in comparison with other EMIs. I don't see any reason why: They don't accept crypto, are not a bank, cards only to EU users. What is it that makes them different so they can have such prices?

Hi, Even though CIM Banque do remote openings their review in this and other forums is not the best and it seems to have quite high fees for everything. I never heard they are crypto friendly either. Did you?
