Kraken OTC may be a little bit cheaper than the main Kraken interface, a little bit easier to use and they can give you invoices. Also fiat settlement would be not with "Payward LTD", but with "Payward OTC LTD". I'm not sure if that entity holds all the same licenses as the main one.

Yep. They provide account in USD. When incoming euro transfer comes they convert automatically to USD. If you send outgoing EUR SEPA transfer they convert USD to EUR on the fly.

Yeah. Germany to Gibraltar and back, own name transfer - just to test. Works fine, instant. About 0.5% lost on foreign exchange (Xapo converts everything to USD).

Before I understood what was wrong, I was asking them. They were slow and not helpful. Looked at the first page of this thread (all good reviews) and decided to give it a try anyway. Paid the fee, ordered the card. According to support it will be shipped in 10 business days...

Video deleted from Youtube :-)

For other who try to register: the app doesn't work with PDFs. It just uploads the first page. So if you have translated notarized bill, Xapo would see only the first page (without translation, notary stamps etc) and reject it. Sir, with questions like this you could work as a bank service...

I mean "I'm German, moved to Bahamas in 2010 (here is my residency permit and utility bill from that time), bought BTC in 2012 (here is the receipt and bank statement), I worked as a software developer then (here is salary slip and bank statement), that coins never moved to other address, want...

Hi. I had a similar situation (and similar experience indeed). Care to elaborate a bit on your situation (source of funds, your country of passport / residence) and share some names of banks / useful details? The suggestions above are good, those are the most crypto-friendly banks, but in my...

I tried to register a week ago. So far their "automatic" process could not verify my address, then they would not accept two different proof-of-address documents. I've asked the support regarding that and they were slow and useless. I mean, one does not usually expects good service from banks...

SEPA? Yeah. Here I've seen some ridiculous overcompliance from correspondent banks. A 50 EUR (fifty euro) transfer was questioned and returned. Some go through without any problems though.

It's a personal account which I've opened in 2021. I got another one for a foreign owned Georgia company since very recently, but not much operations yet, so no experience. Just wanted to hint the topicstarter that such transfers are very possible and there may be other reasons for scrutiny.

My last transfer from a Georgian bank (TBC) to US broker (Interactive Brokers) was $80k and cleared in a few hours. Never heard any questions about this transfers. The bank is annoying on incoming wires though. They send me a questionnaire for all the larger ones. They all are from the same...

Hi, I've seen people getting that visa and opening bank accounts. If one does not genuinely want to start a business in UAE, the Remote Work is the best/easiest visa I would say. Can't comment on credit cards though. Cheers.

Well, that's another story, then thank you for the valuable info :)

I would prefer info from those who bought real estate, not from those who make money on fees facilitating the deals.

Then no problem. You can try to obtain a Kyrgyz passport, then get a visa and then it will "work well out if you just need a second one to travel arround in Europe". Some people have very peculiar hobbies I must say...

I was asking if having your job title as Director more problematic for banking than anything else. Apparently, it may be. So if you open a retail bank account with smaller balances, it makes sense to also appoint yourself as not only Director, but also for some other job. Thank you, @Sols! Your...

As mentioned above, you will need a visa. If you are somehow banned / wanted / not allowed to Europe, second Kyrgyz passport would not help. I've seen people with those passports, so it works sometimes. On the other hand I have a friend who paid for that more than a year ago and didn't get...

Imagine you open a personal bank account, being asked about your job you answer: Director/CEO. Does it entail more questions regarding your company? Articles of incorporation requests? KYC not only for you but for your business? Should one appoint himself to be not only Director, but also Head...

You plan to get an Emirates ID, don't you? Local banks need that ID and may ask for rent contract. If you plan to get a bank account, some rent contract will help a lot.
