Looking for USD account with IBAN

[Ian]

Hi guys,

I'm looking for a company/bank/EMI that offers USD account with IBAN. I need one to receive bank wire from other countries. Really appreciate if anybody could recommend one. Thanks!

Btw, I'm a non-EEA citizen so pity I can't apply N26/revolut/Bunq......

 

[Toxigen]

why you say so pity that you cant apply to N26 account?
what has got‌ special this bank account?
I have just opened N26 recently it seems a standard bank‍ online,
is there more?

Have you made a Google search for the forum? there are a lot of threads‌ already about people in a similar situation as yours.

I'm living in⁠ north america so I can't open an account in either N26 or revolut. So pity...⁤

 

[Ian]

Yes I google searched the forum but unfortunately didn't find any. I'm living in the north‍ america so lots of EMIs don't offer the service here. I'm looking for an EMI/company/bank:⁠
1, Accept clients from North America;
2, Can open an account remotely
3, Offer USD⁤ IBAN under my name so I can receive USD wiring from the other countries;
4, Can withdraw USD by wiring
5, If it offers prepaid card that would be awesome.⁣ But this is just an option

Really appreciate if anybody can recommend one. Thanks!

Maybe in America there are more possibilities to choose than︀ in Europe

You may look into Payoneer which is one of the very few that may accept‌ you.

 

[Samuel Newman]

you need to try Transferwise

 

[Ian]

Hi, thank you for your advice. I have a‍ payoneer account. But somehow now they don't accept usd wires and also they have white⁠ label, only bank wires from those companies on the list are accepted🙁

 

[Ian]

The problem for me is I'm doing trading. Most of‍ brokers they don't accept bank wire to the bank account in north america

 

[Ian]

Transferwise is great. I'm‌ still using it. But the name under my USD account is "TransferWise FBO XXXX" that‍ my brokers think it's a third party so they refuse to bank wire USD to⁠ me

 

[Nyep]

Note that only wires require the "TransferWise FBO" prefix. If your broker can ACH‍ then you can ACH to TW under your own name.

 

[Ian]

Thank you for your notice but my brokers are Australian so they can't ACH. Now I'm‍ thinking the worst case I can open EUR trading account and trade in EUR. But⁠ that would cost me 2% conversion fee every time. So I'm still trying to find⁤ an IBAN USD account

 

[dimitri]

Maybe Transferwise is a posibility ? I have Transferwise with a US bank acocunt‍ number. And a German IBAN, a UK bank account number...

Hi,
I have opened a bank account for the legal entity in Cardpay,⁠ they have USD, EUR etc. There are some restrictions in USD (i cannot send USD⁤ to CIS countries), but for me this is ok. The only thing is that they⁣ open accounts for IT business...

 

[Ian]

Thank you for your reply! Yea I⁤ found USD wiring is restricted everywhere. Miss Leopay now...
