ING BANK IN Poland

[robbystyle]

Hi

Anybody who has heard about ING bank in Poland?

How is it? Safe to open an account and use it for payment?

Thanks.

What brings you to want to use ING in Poland over other banks and locations?‌

 

[robbystyle]

Thanks.

There are other banks within SEPA countries that‍ Non EU residents can open an account remotely?

 

[Martin Everson]

Ok so that is your real question. It would‍ help others if you just posted that question in first place in a thread. Yes⁠ there are but it depends on your budget. Are you a 10 euro client or⁤ a 500,000 euro client for example? If you are closer to 10 euros then you⁣ are looking at maybe EMI's. What country are you from also?

In fact start a⁢ new thread with the real question so topic is easy to find for other readers.︀ thu&¤#

Hi

I am finding the real bank, not EMI regardless of the amount of budget.︀
My question was that ING bank in poland is safe to use.

 

[Sols]

Depends on how you define safety. ING is one of the biggest banks in the‌ world.

 

[Martin Everson]

Can't help you. You sound shady as hell and budget is important. You seem⁠ to avoid saying where you are from ca#"!.

I'd stay far away from Poland.
A prosecutor blocked my money (less than 30 $)‌ because it "seemed to be involved in terror financing and money laundering".

They could not‍ find/prove anything and they stopped the impeachment two years ago, but they did not release⁠ the money.

The account got blocked in 2013. Honestly I do not care about that⁤ small amount of money, but I will never deal with Poland again.

Sorry but what kind of bulls**t is this. "Impeachment" for $30 of terror⁠ financing?

I'd love to hear more about that story.
Maybe you went out with a⁤ friend, your friend brought his friend who was called Osama Bin Laden and he paid⁣ you two a beer, then you repaid him through your account. And that is the⁢ most plausible explanation I can think of lol...

Hi
Which bank? ING?
Is it possible that your accunt has been⁢ blocked with only $30?
haha.. . funny story.
Anyway you could file a complaint to︀ Financial ombuseman or dispute resolution institutions in Poland and EU. Plus civil court also.
Have you tried it?

 

[Marie Manila]

It was not ING. But the prosecutor froze the account. It was not the fault‌ of the bank.
The transaction was related to Bitcoin (I was happy to sell my‍ BTC for 40 $ per BTC these days 😵).
In total there are approx. 1⁠ million of dollars blocked. But only 30 $ belong to me. 😀
So I had luck.⁤ Others are still waiting for much more money to be released.

I don't care about⁣ these 30 $. So I will not file any complaint or what ever. I will⁢ just ignore it.

The main point is: The impeachment is stopped, nobody was proven guilty,︀ but the money is still blocked. Maybe forever.
That is not really giving any trust︁ for further business relationships.

Hi

Any countries(not only poland)︀ may consider that Cryptocurrency like bitcone is related to crime or money laundering.
It is︁ risky field and I recommend not using it with a bank.
Normal transaction like transfer,investment,savings︂ etc.. with real money will not be a problem.
Anyway thanks for your sharing.

Sorry to say so, but for more then‍ 2 years we have had no trouble to accept BTC here, exchange it and send⁠ it directly into our bank account. Even after speaking with the bank there is no⁤ problem.
