EMI suggestions for individuals.

[Schopenhauer]

Hello,

From what I have observed, many EMIs only serve European or UK residents.

Do you have any EMI suggestions for those residing in Turkey?

What I have discovered so far is Paysera. They open accounts, but there are too many blocks and too many questions regarding incoming and outgoing transactions.

I'm talking about 5-10K EUR monthly volume. and I'm talking about local EUR and GBP bank details.
(and local USD if possible)

Thank you for your suggestions!

Turkey is really a problematic country in this context. Regrettably.

I presume you are‍ talking about a personal account, not a business one?

In such a case, try Interpolitan Money.
Verifo can onboard you, I think;⁢ but you'll get just EUR. For USD you can try some Puerto Rican IFE, like︀ Zenus.

 

[Schopenhauer]

Yes. I am⁤ also aware that Turkey is not welcomed very warmly. Yes, I'm talking about personal accounts⁣ for this topic.

Thank you very much for your suggestions. I haven't tried them before.⁢ Time to check.

Setup a UK company or else in Europe and apply for a EMI business account,‌ that's a better option for you. Most banks will refuse to open personal accounts for‍ Turkey.

 

[Schopenhauer]

That's true. I actually have a UK company. but⁠ we are still getting rejected. The reason is we don't live in the UK.

There are‍ some services providing utility bills, rental agreements, and landlines for an extra fee
Usually, it's⁠ enough to pass through compliance.

Still looking for a solution

Well, I admit I have‌ currently no idea re: local GBP banking details. I am not so well oriented at‍ the UK EMIs market, there are ~300 EMIs; yet I believe that some can be⁠ found (e.g. check Wamo for personal accounts, they are friendly). I am not aware about⁤ a non-UK EMI/bank offering local GBP banking details for personal accounts... wait: check Xapo⁣ 🙂

Re: EUR & SEPA – have you tried Verifo? Result? And Zenus for USD?

One more idea for EUR & SEPA – and SWIFT for other currencies:
If you are⁢ OK with the islamic banking, check KT Bank Germany. It's a daughter of Turkish KT︀ Bank and they are really open to Turkish citizens and residents, onboarding them remotely, on-line.︁ But as I have said, it's an islamic bank and they take is seriously, so︂ you have to be comfortable with Shariah banking.

 

[Schopenhauer]

Thank you for your valuable feedback. Wamo does not offer individual accounts.︄

I added Xapo, Verifo and Zenus to my list. I will try them.

I also︅ started an opening with KT Bank but unfortunately they rejected me because I do not︆ live in Germany.

 

[Forester]

You are welcome.

Well, it's possible, unfortunately. I‌ was not sure at all, as I have written.

Good luck!

Bad news 🙁.
Not so long⁤ ago, they were onboarding Turkish citizens with residency in Turkey with no hassle...

 

[kuasz723]

Try Zen.

 

[Forester]

🙁 Zen, unfortunately, does not accept Turkish residents.‌ (Or do you have the different experience?)

 

[kuasz723]

They did, at least last year. Know many users they even‍ supported id. Maybe not now but can try, generally lt emi's were ok with it.⁠

 

[daniels27]

Do you have a lot of FX?

 

[Schopenhauer]

No, I guess‌ I don't have that.
