Or ask any Americans, for that matters. Their passport is toxic when it comes to opening bank accounts in other parts of the world, and not to mention the country's rapidly going down the drain LOL. For those Yanks whom I know are working on a 2nd citizenship (mind you, they would go for...

Hear hear. :) And those with U.S. passports are nowadays considered "toxic" when trying to open ANY accounts anywhere else around the world. FATCA forms anyone? FATCA is latin for 'severe headache'.

EU based account. Transferring in & out of another US based checking account.

Works fine for me (and has been for the last 6 months). Incoming and outgoing.

I second this. You're spot-on with the rich get richer AND their offspring (assuming they don't turn into some useless shitheads) got a headstart with money invested since they were born (read: trust fund babies) - therefore giving them the gift of time (in market) that many of us wished our...

Not to take this too astray from the OT, my issue with Payoneer seems to be it doesn't often like me linking it with my PayPal acct. My PayPal would quickly get flagged, and then I have to end up getting a new receiving account number from Payoneer. I noticed (Payoneer) has since introduced a...

My solution is a bridge solution. Wise USD balance gives you a US-based bank detail (i.e. ABA number and Checking account number with Community Federal Savings Bank). Use that as your receiving account into USD. And once the $ is in Wise, do what you want with it, transfer to Bunq, Bankera etc -...

I used to have a US-based Wise acct where the USD bank detail was with Community Federal. And then I switched over to the EU-based Wise acct (and the USD bank detail was with Evolve Bank & Trust). It's just looking like they're making things easier by having both US-based and EU-based account go...

Quppy at one time said they offer debit cards but I can't find the link anymore - maybe someone else here knows. Slightly off topic, What kind of IBAN do you get from Trastra? Lithuanian?

I think he might've meant don't login from one of those cheap/free VPNs where their IP addresses may have already been blacklisted. If you use a higher quality VPN, it should be fine, that's how most of us are doing it too.

Perhaps it's only for members from certain countries but I am getting a small percentage (maybe 2%?) of interest from my EUR, USD and GBP holdings in my Wise account. Not reported to the tax office, as far as I know.

And I think they're still issuing Greek residency visa if you buy a property there (over 250K euros), correct?

Wouldn't N26 or Bunq (or maybe even Wise) open an account for a Paraguayan? (unless something has changed those banks are pretty foreigner friendly). Or dare I say also Revolut. :D

I got a CF number issued by TIM when purchasing a prepaid SIM card back in 2011. Number was actually valid (validated using various CF online calculators), and calculated as a foreigner (I'm not Italian and don't live there). Even successfully used it to open a Hype online bank account a few...

@JohnnyDoe Thanks - I always always copy/paste so never a chance of typo. :) Maybe it's the Poste Italiana website that's kaput, but 'll check again the next time I try to open an Italian bank account .... or trying to get an IT IBAN...because ppl there don't care about the rule against IBAN...

@JohnnyDoe sorry for the slight OT, does Codice Fiscale actually expire (for non-Italian/non-EU citizens)? Somehow got a CF number when purchasing a TIM prepaid SIM card in 2011 (when I was there), used it to open a bank account (successfully but then somehow they closed it) in 2018 and last...

Rumor has it Wamo.io and Payhawk give you EE IBAN, please research. Also curious why does it have to be EE, most people who wants EE IBAN are e-residents trying to meet Google ad-sense's stupid IBAN requirement.

Gekkard is also an option, seems to be a sister product of Blackcatcard (i.e. Papaya, Ltd, out of Malta). Fast signup.

A colleague was asking (and I couldn't find the answer) but does AirWallex accept local U.S. county's DBA (Doing Business As) form if one is a freelancer (i.e. not a LLC)?

Grazie @Martin Everson - they can report the whole EUR500 I plan to leave in there most of the time. :) Out of curiosity I tapped on the 'Confirm your tax identity' blue button in the app, in which they ask for my EU tax ID, with the option to say 'I don't have one' (which I clicked) and then...
