    Online Banking with Italian IBAN

    To add to the options for those who have relatively small businesses, there is a flat rate regime (forfettario) with a 5% tax for the first five years then 15% onwards.

    Blackcatcard migration - difficulties with incoming/outgoing SEPA transfers

    I don't have any crypto, should I buy crypto then withdraw? Bank transfers out don't work? I just tried withdrawing with the card and the service is not available. I just tried buying crypto via the app but the service is not working. Crypto not working. Card not working. Payments in and out...

    Blackcatcard migration - difficulties with incoming/outgoing SEPA transfers

    I've had 2 payments sent to Blackcatcard recently and none of them has been credited, nor have they gone back to sender yet. I have a €4K balance there and thinking about getting it out of there. Who got their money out of Blackcatcard, what did you do, just withdraw via card or wire...

    Review of FlowBank, New Swiss Bank

    I opened an account with them selecting "savings" as the reason for opening it. Why would they even put this option (and accept you as a client) if they don't want you to use them as a bank?

    Revolut flagged a wire transfer to Blackcat as suspicious, what does that entail?

    Grande Silvio. Is that based on experience or they somehow let you know they're not too keen on these types of transfers? Honestly their automatic flag makes little sense, before flagging it they say something like "are you sure you know this person? We won't be able to recover those funds...

    Does anyone tried sogexia EMI account?

    2% is pricey indeed, I was thinking it's for the "luxury" of having a Luxembourgeois IBAN but to be honest I don't really see the advantages of having that, since it's all still regulated as any other EU EMI.

    Revolut flagged a wire transfer to Blackcat as suspicious, what does that entail?

    It's a €2K wire transfer from Revolut to my account with Blackcat card, which has a Maltese IBAN, I mean it's in my name, same name both on Revolut and on Blackcat, should I just ignore this automatic flag (probably due to MT IBAN) and go ahead or better not?

    Pay by link for a small business in EU, any to suggest?

    Okay thanks guys. I guess I was hoping to be closer to what you normally pay physically at a POS, in presence. But now I look at other options I see that distance payments do charge quite a bit more. If anyone has other payment gateways to suggest feel free to do so, just to broaden the options...

    Pay by link for a small business in EU, any to suggest?

    To get paid relatively small amounts from distant customers (US, Asia..) I'm curently using SumUp, wondering if anyone has other suggestions, SumUp commissions are 2.5% and I was hoping for something better. No physical POS terminal needed, just links. Thanks.

    Do Currenxie or WorldFirst work well for exchanging currencies?

    Okay got that. I have business accounts both with Currenxie and WorldFirst, and was wondering if they make a fuss if you trade in currencies (again, very small amounts) even though trading currencies it's not your core business. EMIs are getting quite pedantic lately and prefer to avoid hassles.

    Do Currenxie or WorldFirst work well for exchanging currencies?

    Why do you say that? You mean that in the business exchanging currencies must be explicitly stated as one of the sources of the company's profits? Yes Wise is convenient, Revolut seems convenient too if you have a plan with no restrictions/commissions (for that you need to pay about 10eur/month).

    Do Currenxie or WorldFirst work well for exchanging currencies?

    I'm talking about small amount like Eur 1K or 2K to convert every now and then between major currencies, it works fine with Wise and Revolut (from Premium plan and above), and wondered if it's easily doable with Currenxie and WorldFirst. Any other platforms you may suggest? Thanks.

    Is there a was to contact Wise once they closed your account?

    Edit: Bankera cleared the funds, they were just doing checks apparently, as soon as I sent proof of funds documentation funds from Wise cleared.

    Is there a was to contact Wise once they closed your account?

    That is true Wise was so fast. Bankera is a snail, when I fill up my car using Bankera's card the pre-authorized amount hangs on for ages before they actualize the real amount I spent, with Wise it was practically instant. CEO was emailed, email didn't come back so was received, but I doubt...

    Is there a was to contact Wise once they closed your account?

    This is unfortunately useless, just BOT preformatted replies. Basically after they deactivate your account you have no access to your transactions, a PayPal withdraw was supposed to have been refused by Wise and sent back to my PayPal but it didn't happen, so I'd need to ask to double check...

    Sole trader keeps getting refused, need a personal EMI account with USD, AUD and other main currencies.

    Update: it seemed to good to be true, it turns out that WorldFirst can't accept payments from individual accounts, given the fact that in my line of work most customers are people not companies I'm back to square one :(

    Sole trader keeps getting refused, need a personal EMI account with USD, AUD and other main currencies.

    Update: WorldFirst just accepted my business account, so yeah thumps up to ALIPAY. What Currenxie will decide doesn't bother me as much now.

    Yes I know it is just speculation on my part, but since in the refusal they write something like "Unfortunately, there are some instances where Airwallex is unable to proceed with an application. Our decision is based on a broad number of factors, many of which are covered in our Terms &...
